NEW EROTICA: LOVE SHOP

‘Isn’t all sexuality commodified?’

’Love Shop’ is simultaneously a prequel and a sequel to NEW EROTICA, an exploration of the wider repercussions of mis-representation, glamorisation and aesthetics. 

A further immersion into my personal desires, still questioning the assumption that, as a woman, my whole perception of sexuality and the erotic can merely be a product of a patriarchal society. I continue my journey navigating the underrepresentation of more peculiar appetites.

There aren’t many things in life my parents share other than me, but they’ve both had long lasting love affairs with Soho, London where they both worked in advertising and I spent a lot of my childhood. 

What builds the foundations of what we find appealing later in life? How much did the bright lights of London’s sex industry influence me early on?
