“Sex, Saints
and Suicides”
explores
identity through historical, religious, and societal influences, which
expose feelings of vulnerability, despair and martyrdom.
The
paintings look at the complex relationship to sex and death, to the divine
and the profane. Suffering, particularly in relation to women, is
examined: is it an inherent trait or do we learn the role of the martyr?
The figure is nude to strip the painting of any obvious or
distracting clues as to time period, as well as to reflect the
vulnerability of the body and spirit.
The painting is deliberately raw, brutally honest and timeless.
