Abject Flesh

Abject Flesh is a series of collages created by using various ephemera (such as scrap papers and torn book covers) and photographs found in old erotic magazines and discarded medical manuals. The work deals with the damaged body and subsequently negotiates issues such as fragility, impermanence, disease and death.
Abject Flesh penetrates the most urgent taboos concerning the body and how we perceive it. The shocking and disturbing images force us to confront our innermost fears and agonies and attempt to illuminate those regions of our subconscious mind we would rather leave concealed. Ultimately the work challenges our preconceptions and ethical standards and provokes us to reexamine our established views on mor(t)ality.
