Artist Statement

My work looks at the desire we have to manipulate and change things that are already beautiful. I have illustrated this by taking pure white lilies and dying them with strong colours. On one level I am distorting the meaning of these lilies and changing it from a symbol of purity and innocence to something that is gaudy and unnatural. On another there is also a relationship between the flowers and the body, how we view ourselves and feel the need to change and become something which society views as “better”.
