About The Artwork

The female form is overly censored. Breasts and the naked female physique is seen as a symbol of sexual desire and pleasure. This archaic view overlooks the other realities and traumas that are sometimes more pertinent to the souls within these bodies. Is it ironic or poignant that the vagina has so many nouns in language when its purpose and what it is capable of producing is as varied itself? The vagina, something people often feel uncomfortable with being confronted with, is the source of the most immense pleasure one can experience. Equally it can be the origin of the cruellest traumas imaginable; directly from the pain of labour, of gynaecological conditions like Endometriosis, the focus of sexual abuse. Some people will see this piece and immediately see in the physique a woman on the flight of pleasure, others will see a woman in labour, some will see a woman in pain and anguish. The vagina at the center of all these interpretations is deliberate and unapologetic. Until we can overcome our sensitivities over something so powerful, we can not begin to break down the barriers and taboos that obstruct owners of their vaginas seeking the liberation they need.

I’m now in a place where I want to use my experiences as a doctor to influence my art; invoking thought to instigate change. I finally allowed myself the freedom to dive deep within myself, purge and draw out the pain, frustration, anger, joy and experiences of myself and every patient I have ever seen. Using predominantly oil with occasional resin and other mixed media, People Bleed is a contemporary collection bordering modern surrealism. The egg is frequently featured throughout the collection as a symbol of fertility, new life, fragility and loss: a powerful and raw juxtaposition to organic figurative work set often against a solid black background. The collection hopes to be a provocative and raw discussion on lesser-discussed truths of gender inequalities in health and society and what it is to live. Life is a symbiosis of hope and fear yet we instinctively run from the latter. When we acknowledge the lows with the highs, recognise life’s inherent struggles…we come to a place of acceptance; there lies the hope. If we accept that people bleed, and that that’s ok, would we find liberation and the journey along the way a little easier?
