My original studies were in painting. The following images comprise a selection of works completed c. 1990 - 2005. All are acrylic on wood panels, and all are square in format. My paintings were based on an investigation into relationships between images and ideology and a critique of representation. As such, all consisted of careful copies of sections of existing--generally minor (of women, animals, plants)--works, in which I felt I could most clearly observe the construction of received notions and ideology. As a feminist, I identified with the overlooked subject matter and disregard in which these often quite wonderful works were held.
