Cusworth performs her own primitivism in ritualistic acts to explore woman's role as "˜other' to the male in discourse with the animistic cultures role as "˜the other' to civilized society. Developing a body of totemistic sculpture and photography the work toys with the patriarchal representation of the primal women as a savage and a deviant.
