Two colour screen print on found photograph, available unframed.
”Let me introduce you to Laura—and to be clear, I know several Lauras, but this is the first one who gets her own moment. Laura does not suffer fools. But what I’ve always admired is how she moves, between being assertive, informative, and somehow still tactfully navigating fragile egos. One of my favourite things is watching her calmly dismantle someone’s attempt to outwit her. Usually trying to say something clever (read: offensive) that he hopes flies under the radar. But Laura sees it. She always sees it. And with surgical precision, she explains it right back to him—often better than he understood it himself. This piece is a bit of a meta-moment: it explains mansplaining in the tone of a mansplain. Because here’s the thing—it’s never really about helping women. It’s about some perceived need to assert value, often in the face of quiet, unwavering female competence. Like Laura’s. What I love most about this piece is that it’s difficult to read—yellow and silver ink on photographic paper, only fully visible when the light hits just right. You have to work to see the meaning. Just like the subtle, sharp brilliance of Laura herself.”

About the artist:
I wanted to demonstrate the range of my practice, in my submissions. Some of my work explores quiet, subversive feminism through found images and screen print. Rather than presenting women as aesthetic objects, I imagine their thoughts, humour, resistance, and defiance. My Found Landscape series shifts focus to landscapes, pictures taken to commemorate beautiful moments between the author and their surrounding, layering them with gestural marks and vivid colour, I explore the tension between past and present, memory and reinvention. There's often wit in the work, a refusal to conform to expectation, and a sense of holding space for stories that might otherwise be lost. My paintings, are my most personal work - exploring a part of myself I haven't completely come to terms with.
