Her work offers an efficient yet provocative way to deconstruct and reassemble societal representations of women and gender roles, challenging us to consider the complicity of consumerism, mass media and visual culture in shaping identity. \n\nHer source material, drawn from women’s lifestyle magazines, retail catalogues, horticultural journals, cookery books and pornography are remixed to remove or subvert their original contexts. Photomontages such as Orgasm Addict (1977) (which featured on the single release of British punk band, Buzzcocks in 1977) and The Three Weirds (2010) caustically challenge the contradictory roles society assigns to women – the homemaker and the object of desire – and draws attention to the absurdity of these expectations.","physicalDescription":"A photomontage featuring black and white photographs of three topless women, with magazine photography pasted on top.

The thirteen-hour performance event, produced in collaboration with musician Stuart McCallum (The Cinematic Orchestra), fashion designer Richard Nicoll (also Creative Director, Cerruti), and dancers and musicians from varied traditions and disciplines, unfolded as an epic invocation of glamour and fantastical pageantry. Witch trials and beauty queens, ragtime and Euro Pop merged as live collage enfolding the viewer in a secret history of prejudice and dissent.","productionType":{"text":"Limited edition","id":"THES48862"},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["PH.1-2025"],"accessionNumberNum":"1","accessionNumberPrefix":"PH","accessionYear":2025,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"edition of 30","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2026-03-25","recordCreationDate":"2024-11-13","availableToBook":false}}
