Male-
My work investigates the relationship between the male body and space. I focus on my own body in particular, placing myself into strange positions fighting against gravity. I base my work in a domestic setting, inspired by the concept of the uncanny home or ‘Das Unheimlich’, a site of terror and anxiety. Through the use of the male body I subvert the notion of the ‘woman trapped by the home’, comparing the concept of ‘maleness’ with the Latin prefix ‘male-’ a signifier for something abnormal or evil. The character is almost inhuman, an automaton manipulated by the invisible force of the home.
