Strength, struggle and abject femininity. Version 1 shown at Thomas John Bacon’s Tempting Failure, Bristol 2013. Version 2 shown at Martin O’Brien’s Discharge: No Pain No Gain, London 2014.
I was transfixed. […] For me, [her] performance was about the feminine struggle against a history of patriarchal tradition and virtue. I saw the performer as an ideological feminine figure, both maternal and virtuous. Draping herself in white linen and surrounding herself with milk, she was both Mother and Virgin. What I enjoyed the most about this performance was the complete deconstruction of these socially fashioned feminine roles. She displayed an ‘other’ femininity, both carnal and strong. – Natalie Raven, Total Theatre
