Sinless confessional (I feel nothing until I feel everything) is a suite of composite mixed-media drawings, confessions and memories collaged onto nine sheets of paper. The series examines bodily shame and inner turmoil, focusing on Catholicism, family, fatphobia and the myth of the ‘beach body.’ Through the assemblage of disparate materials and concepts, a fragmented map of thoughts and confessions emerges.
UNSW School of Art & Design stands on an important place of learning and exchange first occupied by the Bidjigal and Gadigal peoples.
We acknowledge the Bidjigal and Gadigal peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land that our students and staff share, create and operate on. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend this respect to all First Nations peoples across Australia. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
