Under My Skin conjures both the loved and the hated. It is this ambivalent nature that is also found essentially in the colour pink; shocking and naked it conceals and reveals different attitudes and symbols of cultural and social values. This exhibition explores dualities and dichotomies.

Threaded by colour, Under My Skin considers ideas of nature and culture, man and the machine, the masculine and feminine, the physical and psychological, the earthly and the divine and pop and the primordial, encoding materiality and form. Sculpture and Textile techniques are used to deploy the boundaries between the similar and the converse.
