I am a woman whose arms were full of babies for a quarter of my life. This experience left me concerned with the lot of women due to our biological capabilities and the consequences of these. Once my arms were freed I could start to make art work about the issues I could only think about before.
I now create immersive and interactive installations. I use satire as a way of engaging with my audience and encouraging them to think more deeply about the issues I am exploring. However, beneath the surface of my art, there are always deeper, more serious issues at play. One of my recent works, for example, explores the international surrogacy industry and the impact of this industry on the resulting child. My work explores the ways in which this industry has deconstructed an intimate act inside a woman's body and monetised it, turning it into a series of separate transactions that can include sperm and egg purchases, embryo creation, the birth mother, and the birth itself.
