Often I like my work to have a narrative quality, producing images that exist in their own right, as well as achieving a modern day commentary on social and preconceived ideas. My wig and costume collection is vast and grows every day, and I am always contemplating new characters and themes to explore. I often find myself writing in my spare time, influenced by anything around me.
In my latest series, I have taken to recreating the Pin-Up, exploring themes of sexual power and control and challenging the Pin-Ups traditional perception of the objectified woman. My works have a celebrated sense of nostalgia that incorporates both humour and imagination in their representation.
