Femicides addresses the gender-based murder of women or girls by men. This wall piece consists of 69 tiles made from broken crockery embedded in plaster, symbolising female deaths in England and Wales between April 2022 and March 2023 that were the result of domestic crimes.
Each shattered plate represents a victim of femicide, showcasing distinct broken china and a unique design as a poignant symbol of each woman’s individuality.
These tiles were created in collaboration with 21 women and girls from diverse backgrounds during my residency at Quiet Down There, an arts organisation in Brighton that aims to provide a voice to those who have been silenced.
