Spoken scripted text, recorded soundtrack, latex catsuit, yellow microphone cable, acrylic paint, tissue paper, ink, satin ribbon, perspex lectern, gallery seating (25’00)

Through a combination of a spoken scripted text, recorded soundtrack, snug costume, and sculptural props, the work struck a delicate balance between suggestive and explicit content – transforming private experience into public expression
