Artist’s Statement

This work was made in response to the ongoing issues facing Irish women. 100 years ago, the right to vote was conditionally granted to women in Ireland. Today, Irish women do not have full bodily autonomy. One in seven Irish women has experienced sexual assault in the home, one in seven has experienced physical violence at the hands of a partner and one in three has experienced psychological violence by a partner. One in eight Irish women has experienced stalking. On average Irish women are paid fourteen percent less than men…Winning the vote was a huge step forward, but there is much more to be done in the quest for equality.
