Rooms Designed for a Woman was most recently shown at Tate St Ives, with an expanded body of work, from Jan - Sep 2020 but was originally commissioned by Sarah Coulson as part of [Re]construct, an exhibition in the Chapel at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The work explores some ideas around who gets to make decisions around what gets built, who designs that space, and who spends most time in those spaces. Other things include architectural models, architectural cake, women, power and the morphing of bodies into the environment around them. With huge thanks to Hannah Bitowski, Malcolm Barker and Frances Heap for their performances and to Ruth Eaton for her assistance with filming.
