Women, Roots & All No.4 is a painting exploring the injustices of being a woman and mother. The collection of textured oil paintings expose truths and honesties about the agonising existence of women and the sufferings we must endure.
There is a deliberate attempt to make the base layers of these paintings complicated, abrasive and raw; relying on texture and muddy tones to reflect women just as they are. Layers of acrylics and oils expand on each piece, representing the many faces were adorn as women; the duties, expectations and demands placed on us by society and ourselves.
Large blocked out areas of paint act as a visual reprieve against the gestural work of oil sticks, which are chaotic, unencumbered and free - representing a state of carelessness we all long to feel.
