The Rape of the Sabine Women
Handcrafted mirror balls composed of individually printed glass tiles, each showcasing different classical interpretations of ‘The Rape of the Sabine Women’, a story that has been a recurring theme in art and literature throughout history.
This series reimagines Degas' ballerinas by placing them with modern-day dancers in a safe, empowering space. In Degas’ time, young ballerinas, called ‘petit rats,’ were often controlled and exploited by wealthy male patrons, or ‘abonnés.’ By removing these men, the work highlights the dancers’ beauty and strength, free from their historical struggles.
Petité Women
Paintings in the Sky
Paintings in the Sky is a series of immersive art installations that fuse the past and present through LED balls adorned with Renaissance-inspired paintings.
Renaissance Rebirth
This series of artwork combines photography with classical painting to create images of real places and real people, separated by time and medium. ‘Renaissance Rebirth’ invites viewers into a world where figures from Renaissance paintings step out of their classical frames and into the bustling atmosphere of contemporary settings.
A Contemporary Dialogue with Rubens
This series merges contemporary photography of real women with Peter Paul Rubens’ delicate sketches, creating a visual dialogue that transcends time. By blending classical depictions with modern imagery, the work explores the complexities of the female form as both a connection and a barrier, inviting viewers to reflect on its evolving representation and significance in art and society.
The Picasso Problem
This series of photographs reimagines the fragmented portrayals of women in Picasso’s famous works, responding to the darker narratives revealed by those who knew him. While Picasso’s depictions of fractured female forms brought him acclaim, they may also echo a deeper imbalance—his inability to see some of the women in his life as whole. Inspired by the colour palettes of his Blue and Rose periods, these images invert the concept of fragmentation by projecting it onto complete, intact female figures, offering a new perspective on the enduring tension between artist and muse.
