'Menagerie'; a masquerade of bird portraits in watercolour inks and collage, created with the subtle but provocative intent to evoke the relationship between society and animals. Using images of clothing as a symbolic material to cover the head and body of the bird, there is a discontinuity in the involvement between viewer and animal. The work deals with the repositioning of identity and the reassessment of the notions of 'fashion', display and allure.

Menagerie

'The Garden' takes on the subject matter and form of 'The Garden of Earthly Delights', by Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450), using analogue collage to explore our contemporary relationship to pleasure, longing, belonging and morality. It was due to be exhibited at collective exhibition mOstra 2020 in Lisbon, Portugal, set to open on 13th March. The Private View was cancelled and the exhibition has been made available to view online and through appointment, although distancing restrictions prevented this so far.  The duration of the exhibition has been extended until mid June.
