Pink Brains, Red Minds

Installation view of the paintings and soft sculpture. The soft sculpture consists of a teddy bear and pink horse morphed together.

The installation is a creative and thought-provoking amalgamation of different artistic mediums, including painting, drawing, and sculpture combining nostalgia and eeriness, where you are invited to step into a fantasy-like world.It brings together three distinct pieces: &quot;Pet,&quot; &quot;Mum I Want To Go Home,&quot; and &quot;The Banquet,&quot; with the intention of exploring and satirising human actions and behaviours.

Three figures form a triangular formation, reaching up to a suspended eyeball with tears cascading from its pupil. sunflowers surround the figures

&quot;Eternal Grace&quot; is a painting that delves into themes of introspection, sexualization, and the subconscious, depicting a dream-like world where figures are stripped to reveal a tangle of nerves, with sunflowers which symbolise vitality and transformation.Drawing inspiration from renowned painters, the artist critiques the male gaze by portraying the central figure in a sexualised contrapposto position.

&quot;When you wake up in a different World&quot; is a ceramic sculptural piece examining the concept of metamorphosis and non-human life. 
It reevaluates the dynamic between humans and nature, questioning ecological relationships, and the stability of the symbiotic connection between habitats and living beings on our planet.

Imagery of a red and grey body holding and caressing another person, with their fingers wrapping fully around their head.

&quot;THE FISH&quot; is an illustration piece that cleverly challenges the glorification of Stockholm Syndrome through a feminine and dark lens, aiming to raise awareness about the perils of abusive relationships. The graphic novel employs bodily metaphors to depict the pain inflicted upon victims of the syndrome and abusive dynamics.

&quot;Taming the Beast&quot; is an installation peace that revolves around the creation of new myths, combining elements of the supernatural, the grotesque, and the whimsical in fresh retellings: a feast with the fiend&#39;s head as the centrepiece, representing both glory and unsettling stillness.The fiend, a beloved and evolving character, serves as both a modern icon and a reflection of humanity.

&quot;Cigarettes and rhododendrons&quot; is an painting and bronze-casting piece delving into the intersectionality of gender and sexuality.Visual imagery featuring symbols like animals and specific colours represents the limitations and harm experienced by queer women, including the societal expectations of marriage, depicted by the dominant red colour, reminiscent of sindoor in Hinduism.

&quot;The Evolutionary Edge&quot; investigates the convergence of colonialism, post-colonialism, technology&#39;s transformative potential, inequality, and identity. The work portrays a post-apocalyptic setting where post-human colonisers navigate the intricate realms of technological advancement and body modification, exploring how human evolution and cultural shifts affect societies and individuals.

Three figurative paintings alongside three deconstructed chair-like sculptures in a white gallery space

&quot;Beggars Banquet&quot; is an installation that conveys an eerie, cinematic, and surreal narrative, blurring the lines between representation and abstraction while exploring themes of gender, identity, and the human experience. The expressive use of colour creates ambiguous atmospheres, allowing for individual interpretation, and the non-traditional sculptures further enhance the transitional nature of the artwork, reflecting psychological depth and instability.
