Women have always been bombarded with images of the ideal body shape through the media.
This has escalated in today’s era of social media with the pressure to achieve the unachievable via exposure to unrealistic images, often enhanced by photoshop or filters.

We expect celebrities and models to be beautiful; but what social media has done is provide a platform for influencers to flaunt their flawless skin, perfect curves and cosmetic surgery, which is now more accessible than ever before.
As a result, body shaming has become as addictive as our daily feeds.

Beauty (and women) comes in all shapes and sizes; and like art, is subjective. This is what ‘Woman on a Balloon’ represents.
All women have the right to feel confident in their own skin and embrace their beauty, otherwise… just like a balloon under constant pressure there will become a point where she will simply burst.

The piece is hand sculpted in clay from photographic reference, moulded and then cast in silicone rubber and epoxy resin.
Hand painted with hand made eyes, the hair is inserted one hair at a time.
The balloon is also hand sculpted and cast in epoxy resin.

As we all go about our busy lives, the elderly often get forgotten and seen sitting alone.
 
Many of us prioritise work and social commitments over visiting our parents or grandparents, who after devoting their lives to loving and caring for us, are left alone and lonely.  
The elderly are the most interesting people you can meet, with a lifetime of wisdom, experience and stories to share. They deserve to be heard, they deserve to be loved and they deserve your time.
