The use of art to explore and highlight social issues is a central area of interest with early pieces of work relating to child slavery, death and sexual health. Issues that have been considered more recently include forced marriage and the repression of women, which topics have then been extended to explore female genital mutilation within the context of women’s sexual freedom.Materials and techniques specific to the issues being considered are used to create pieces that have maximum impact on the audience.  The ultimate aim is to engage and stimulate the viewer’s senses affording them a multi-dimensional experience.
