ARTIST STATEMENT

Poking fun at traditional representations of women in film,聽Horse Girl explores themes of femininity, renditions of beauty, desirability curated from the male gaze, body autonomy and deception through a shift in portrayal from beautiful to uncanny. How did you first perceive this woman? How do you perceive her now? The work explores aspects of femininity that are animalistically personified, like kitten heels, pussies, ponytails, piggy tails, doe eyes and [the word] 'bitch', for example. Between women and horses specifically, there lives a historic parallel鈥攂oth vessels, tools, a 'means to an end'. Horse Girl聽takes this relationship and runs with it鈥攐r聽perhaps I聽should say gallops. Intrigued by the portrayal of jarring beauty and feminist body horror in works like multimedia artist Carolee Schneemann鈥檚 avant-garde Meat Joy,聽Marielle Heller鈥檚 Night Bitch聽and Coralie聽Fargeat鈥檚 The Substance,聽Horse Girl聽depicts the unique frustrations of sexism, self-loathing and the disconnect between the mind and body related to the feminine experience. Depicted through the stark,聽jarring聽and eerie atmosphere curated by the camera lens as the feminine figure gets ready for a聽girls' night out.

ARTIST INTRODUCTION

I'm聽a聽21-year-old聽who moved to Sydney at the beginning of 2025 to start uni. I live to be inspired and chose to study both my passions: science and fine arts. Knowledge is power, and聽I'm聽so grateful to be able to learn as much as I can while also testing the boundaries of my creativity.
