Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork  

In her work to date, she explores troupes of identity, which come from ideas of vanity and how we present authentically. This often leads into historical comparisons and trends or ways in which we attempt to assimilate in society. She looks at the concept of beauty ‘secrets’, the trappings of the ways in which we attempt to make ourselves more desirable or construct our identity and the armours that we choose to do so.
