‘It’s Not Your Fault’

This collection represents primary research undertaken into the effect of verbal harassment experienced by women. My work aims to draw attention to this continuing issue in society.

‘It’s Not Your Fault’ is a series of vessels that materially respond to common examples of verbal harassment. The colours imitate physical bruises to highlight the impact of harassment not seen by the naked eye. The escalation of this problem today is evidenced in this sequence. In a visual context through clay, this illustrates how words can truly cut deeper than knives.
