About the Artwork

tubal ligation [noun] 'a surgical procedure for female sterilisation which involves severing and tying the fallopian tubes'.
Severed from the knowledge and natural rhythms of our wombs as a result of patriarchal systems, this piece speaks of the metaphorical tubal ligation between us and the connection to and information regarding our own bodies.
Intuitively tying tights together, I created this rhythmic lattice pattern, each layer interlinked and supporting the next. I like to see each layer as the generations of women before, each lifting us closer to ourselves again.
