Research
My visual research centered around themes of Gender Equality, 'The Birth Control Burden' and how to visually depict such an issue. This lead me to visual imagery of The Garden Of Eden as well as to the work of artists such as Faye Wei-Wei and Sophy Hollington, who inspired my decision to use Linocut as my medium.

Colour Palette
