Masters Degree

Originating with an interest in the body and its functions, my MA degree project draws from psychoanalytic theory, interpreting bodily manifestations of thoughts. I have a continuous interest in the uncanny, in which a strange and eerie feeling, or experience, is generated through an encounter with something familiar in an unexpected setting.

This research area spread to an investigation of women’s health and the position of the female body as uncanny within health care settings and medical research, particularly through the lens of endometriosis. A condition in which endometrial-like cells grow out with the uterus but behave in the same way, these wandering cells reflect a wandering womb, creating an uncanny creature existing within the female body.


The images here show how this research translated into a costume, performance, and installation of work, exhibited at the Grays School of Art Masters Degree show, 2022.
