Great Mother Earth 2015(Rorschach)

3x4.5 Metres Recycled paper, Crude oil, water, Gold pigment, beetroot, sand. I created this giant Rorschach to symbolise the damaging effect of power & greed to the earth.

Untitled c. Close up

Make-up Rorschach 1. ...The make up Rorschach drawings are a creative response to my own learning of what a patriarchal societies idealist views of beauty and perfection should be. I had a bag of old makeup that I kept for some sort of creative use, it also reminded me of all the money I wasted on make up and products, trying to fit into this ideal image we are supposed to uphold...
