Research
My current research explores gender and embodiment in relation to women's digital art practices through a collaborative methodology. This project takes influence from the notion of feminist standpoints and tenets of postmodernism to construct a framework to challenge essentialist binary thinking around the body, and focuses on the fluidity of embodied experiences to ask questions about the relationship between women’s bodies and the production of feminist art, and the blurred boundaries between digital and material bodies.
