In The Water. Performed for IKG Live 2, Illingworth Kerr Gallery, 2018.

This performance explored the ritual of baptism taken to an uncomfortable repetitious extent. The overflow of water from each act of submerging my head led to my handmade dress being soaked through, and the bright red lingerie beneath becoming visible. These garments portrayed definitions of a binary female sexuality within religious terms, the virgin and the whore. My performance blurred this line, and through the use of ‘wetness’ to symbolize the grotesque feminine, expressed defiance to traditions that seek to hold power over the female body.
