‘PrettyPoliticalMum’: a series of drawings inspired by metaphors of motherhood, made political. A fresh series of protest art going back to basics with pen, ink and paint.
Releasing one drawing per week…
In honour of my 13th attempt to apply for Settled Status (to be able to stay in the UK after Brexit) I turned this into a livestream performance from art gallery Centrala (Digbeth, Birmingham).
Watch the livestream:
At key political moments I make sure to upcycle the day’s tabloids into hats. Free for all.
A series of drawings that initially appeal with its colours and forms, but then leave a gloomy feeling.
Some of the more classic political cartoons I made. A touch of humor, double meanings and layers.
I love making things, and I love the idea that conversations can start anywhere. That’s why I’ve made wearable protest pieces.
