Acrylic on Necklace with Pins, 2025
Struggling is Beneath Me takes the form of an elaborate layered necklace, its beads inscribed by hand with Posca and gel pens. The work continues the artist’s practice of drawing upon everyday conversations - particularly the exchanges of friendship groups and digital group chats - as a source for incisive and memorable language.
The phrase itself conveys a performative sense of superiority, evoking a grand, theatrical persona whose jewellery operates both as adornment and as declaration. By translating casual speech into wearable form, the work highlights how humour and exaggeration can articulate resilience and self-mythology.
