Kathy Barker
I have a daughter who is now eight years old. She has been one of the starting points for the work I make. As a mother and as an artist I witness her sexuality, be it animalistic, exhibitionst, onfrontational, innocent or whatever. This is turn evokes memories of my own childhood and what it meant to me. I try to go back, re-sence if you like, what it meant to be a girl, growing up and becoming aware of one's self. Mosty I'd like ti think in a celebratory kind of a way.
