The Mutilated Reality of Innocence
I choose to use fabric and wool as a physical representation of humanity. Using the soft and comfortable tributes of these materials I create pieces which initially appeal to our 'inner child'. Through distorting the figures and bringing out a harsher character, I then turn my work into an emotional contradiction, whilst focusing on the themes of power and control within society.
A brutal mutilation of these materials opens up new questions and concerns about the reality of humanity.
They are the truth,
warning you away from their cute and cosy exterior.
