Wild Sisters

---

This series reimagines mythological “monstrous” women, like Medusa, Chimera and Charybdis, as figures of untamed strength, rage and vulnerability. Drawing on feminist research and ancient myth, the work challenges how female power has been distorted, feared and weaponised across history.

Created through fluid ink, digital collage and layered mark-making, each piece contains subtle traces of breasts, vulvas and symbolic weaponry, hinting at the way women's bodies have been both fetishised and demonised.

Influenced by thinkers such as Debbie Felton, Sharon Blackie and Mary Beard, the series explores how the monstrous feminine still echoes in today’s policing of women’s anger, wildness and voice.

These aren’t villains, but icons of survival and defiance, reminders that the monster was never in the myth, but in the eye that feared her.
