Latest piece for Dazed Beauty, exploring a long-term obsession of mine: from the soot and sweat of Roman lupanaria, to the perfumed fantasies of 19th-century Parisian maisons closes, and on to sickly sweet body sprays and portable yoni steamers in the 21st century. Thank you, as always, @akbpeters @dazedbeauty ❤️ 🔗 in bio.

A *pleasure* to be part of @sharmadeanreid ‘s Pleasure Salon, celebrating her new chapter on pleasure in the paperback edition of New Methods in the paradisal @theroofgardens . I shared some reflections on pleasure and the imagination, reading my favourite submissions from Nancy Friday’s collections of women’s anonymous fantasies. thrilled as ever by the utopian pleasure cities a bored suburban housewife can dream up 🏹 🦚 💕

Latest piece for @rediscovering_art_by_women on Leonor Fini, and using our erotic imagination to transcend the everyday mundane. To say Leonor Fini is an inspiration of mine is an understatement: her ideas have radically shaped how I think about art, life, love, and desire. When I studied Fini a few years ago, my mind was too hazy to articulate what I really wanted to say. It’s been good to revisit some of these thoughts with a clarity that her work deserves 🐈‍⬛ Link in Bio 🔮#womenartists #leonorfini #womensurrealists
