Tracy Satchwill's artwork delves into women's experiences and emotions by immersing herself in their worlds. Through role-playing and costumes, she channels their desires, frustrations, sadness, resentments, and rage, drawing on her own childhood as an outsider in a controlled environment.
These portraits are acts of shedding and reconstruction, revealing the masks worn for survival and unleashing our inner monsters. Her work is absurd, playful, challenging, and melancholy, reflecting our base instincts, survival strategies, and ability to simultaneously embody conflicting emotions and contradictory behaviours.
'Being the monster feels liberating. I can reveal my shadow self by unsettling people just for being different, for not fitting in.'
