A form resembling the female body, built from white kaolin. Over time — months, years — copper dust applied to the surface oxidises, gradually darkening, covering the white beneath. The work changes as it ages: what began pale and ceramic is becoming iron.

The Iron Maiden is not a torture device here but a second skin — the armour women construct for protection that becomes, over time, its own constraint. The material enacts the subject: a surface that started open, slowly covered.
