Diamonds and Toads

A tableau
vivant that sits somewhere between self-portraiture and performance and invokes
the ill-fated heroines of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson whilst
alluding to contemporary concerns of voyeurism and female objectification.

“The Girls do not speak or move. It is as though they have been trapped
here for decades in these bodies, Havisham-esque, bed ridden and beginning
slightly to smell… It’s a parody of feminine beauty and a metaphor for the
dangers of the double edged sword of passive objectification.”
Beverley Knowles, FAD, 2013
