“More literal and explicit in meaning than my past work, the pieces I worked on in 2019 explored some incredibly dark themes; specifically, objectification and sexualisation. Further building on my concept of Confectionery Portraiture, I created a series of sculptures depicting black body parts as food. Though the pieces themselves were actually created from inedible materials (clay, ceramic, and resin), I was very proud to have created mouth-wateringly realistic sculptures that proved to be so enticing, many viewers were compelled to take a bite - an act that is incredibly cannibalistic in nature.”
