Daemons

Self-isolation feels like self-elimination. My physical compartmentalisation from the outside world has extracted my presence from previously overlapping lives. My practice and Honours research project address the parallel erasures of femininity and animals in society. Self-isolating at home with my spaniel has exaggerated our affinity in my own life. My artworks honour animals and women in the home and explore how each might navigate traditionally oppressive domestic situations in a time where the house is inescapable. I have been photographing myself to document and prove my existence now that my eyewitnesses have diminished. My photo documentation combats our isolation by connecting my presence to yours.
