Drawing is how I started to explore the body, and how I felt about my own body. I drew women who were comfortable with their big hips, thighs and bellies. Women owning their space and owning their sexuality.

Works on paper in Body, Burden & Bloom
Swan Hill Studios, Shrewsbury
Open every day until Sunday 18 October, 10am–3pm

I've been inspired by the ancient Venus figurines for a long time. Some of them are over 35,000 years old.

Fertility symbols? Beauty standards? Nobody really knows what they were for. But to me they're proof that the shape I was taught to be ashamed of was once held as precious.

They're so strong, but they're so small. I wanted to make one big enough to take up space.

They started because I was angry at men. At relationships that kept failing. At broken guys who didn't treat me right.

I made them in anger. A way to put my feelings into words.

Then I went deeper. Was it really them? Or was it the stories we are given?

The prince who arrives. Who saves you. Who makes everything make sense.

Can anyone ever live up to that?
