In the light of the revelations from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, it seems the extent of child abuse in Australian institutions knows no end. As a lapsed Catholic I am most disappointed with the church’s conspiracy to cover up pedophilia and abuse within its institutions. Within this work I explore the mental dismemberment that is the consequence of sexual abuse. This installation questions our humanity and the inhumanity of modern society.
