Puppy Fat

Puppy fat, Series of photographs, xxx, October 2023

The series plays with ideas of perception - how the feminine is viewed versus the reality. It reconnects with the rawness and animalistic nature of being female. Using the idea of the body but the body not being present is a key concept. The evocative photos fuse food and flesh, challenging traditional decorum. This bold conceptual art questions social narratives and what it means to be an empowered, authentic woman in today's world. The raw, fleshy textures of uncooked meat are juxtaposed against soft, delicate femininity in this photo series. The use of raw chicken, bacon and other meats explores themes of empowerment, vulnerability and discomfort surrounding women's bodies and traditional notions of femininity. The tactile rawness of the meat evokes a visceral reaction, while the strategic use of blush pink adds depth.
