Death Of John The Savage

The door of the lighthouse was ajar. They pushed it open and walked into a shuttered twilight. Through the archway on the further side of the room they could see the bottom of the staircase that led up to the higher floors. Just under the crown of the arch dangled a pair of feet.

"Mr Savage!"

Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east, east. ...

These drawings were taken and inspired by my W.I.P. Psychobitch series.

Marriage, 2013
60 x 42 cm
Mixed Media on Paper

Marriage illustrates the transition from girlhood to womanhood- the process of meeting the expectations of a constitution that sometimes forever hides the woman of instinct, passion and impulse. This piece celebrates and honours every woman's primal self, free from societal expectations and doctrines. It also foretells the haunting by one's authentic self on the Doris Day wife-persona when desire is suppressed and unfulfilled.


Rat King, 2013
60 x 42cm
Mixed Media on Paper


Farmer's Wife, 2013
60 x 42cm
Mixed Media on Paper

The Rat King is a historical omen where rats are found entangled and collectively festering during the plague. Drawing parallels with unhealthy or abusive relationships that women sometimes find themselves imprisoned in, the symbolism of the woman cutting off the tails of the Rat King illustrates the individual, taking ownership of her life and relationships.








Avocado, 2009
49.5 x 59.5cm
Woodblock Print, In edition of 4

Avocado, from the Fruits Series is a study on the feminine form and body. By using Fruits to illustrate body parts and organs, Avocado portrays an interaction between the self and body, with poignant sensuality. It endorses the reclamation of the female body, often sexualised and coveted by media and the male gaze. Avocado shows a woman cradling herself, a metaphor for taking ownership of one's own physicality- an image of self love and confidence, independent of gender stereotype and stigma.
