Knives Out is a piece that confronts male violence against women and girls. The central head-like form has been constructed with several bras stitched together, then poured with plaster dyed black. This form bristles with knife-like protrusions, made by rolling clay into bras, which aggressively stick out – their sharp edges shouting danger – dont touch! The bras have been weaponised. Pictured here in Wakefield Cathedral as part of “Assembly” and exhibition with the Yorkshire Sculpture Group, 2022.
