BA Art and Design

I am a multimedia artist, who primarily works with collage, and often looking at feminist issues in a light hearted manner. My project “Potty Mouth” consists of a combination of illustration and collage incorporated into a 3D Spaces regarding the women’s toilet as a safe space.

“Drown Ur Thoughts” is a mixed media collage, and is the cover for the “Potty Mouth” Zine. It aims to encapsulate the feeling of crying on the toilet in a bar in a very direct manner.

“Modern Day Sanctuary” utilises photography captured on the toilet for my series “Tears and Toilets: A Catalogue” in which I visited very bar I had cried in in order to reclaim the space. The poem that goes along side it encapsulates the feeling of sanctuary the toilet often bring to people.

“Potty Mouth” is the final installation of my project, aiming to create the atmosphere of being in the women’s toilet by incorporating graffiti, posters and a toilet itself, inspired by the toilets i had visited throughout the project.
