venus ive failed you (2019) is an installation which attempts to embody a space of self and collective healing. Centred around a tapestry of fabric collage, abstract and literal self-portraits are seen scattered throughout the arrangement.
 
venus acts as a fragmented surrogate body that serves the artist in her attempt to heal. She seeks to edge away from isolation and embedded trauma, moving towards a collective experience that promotes unison and shared understanding. 
 
Each element is hyper-biographical and suggests a disjointed narrative pertaining to a veiled relationship with the body and its functions as both a vessel and object of desire.
 
venus is reminiscent of cubby houses built in infancy, a designated private space for a viewer to seek refuge and observe the underbelly of spirituality.
