AND WHEN SHE ROARED THE UNIVERSE QUAKED2007

In the multimedia installation “…and when she roared the universe quaked”, the artist examines gendered, female, creative/creating bodies as a site of both “otherness” and empowerment. By adopting a vocabulary of defamiliarised bodies, eerie juxtapositions and sculptural signifiers, she playfully confronts, angrily shatters or slyly subverts the limitations of epic, “timeless” narratives and their cultural representations, particularly with regard to the embodied identities of women.
