In my new
series, "Woman", I have physically cut into the painted canvases to describe the surgical cuts
made into a woman’s body during childbirth. These medical procedures result in
permanent scarring, weakening of the body, and often mockery and rejection by
the men whose children they bear.
While the surface
colours and textures of the painting may be beautiful - just as women enhance
their beauty through cosmetics, clothing, etc – the cuts reveal a different
story, usually hidden from view and not discussed.
