INCISURA is the first exhibition I curated, working in collaboration with the artist Rosie Andrew, held at Strange Field in July of 2025. The exhibition text read:

This exhibition by Rosie Andrew is set within the haunting ambience of a butcher’s domain, where echoes of slaughter mingle with the scent of decay. Here, the dissonance between feminine curves and lifeless flesh becomes a visual meditation on the contradictions
of existence, merging the elegance of ballet with the grotesque reality of the flesh.

From visualising themes of Carolyn Korsmeyer’s Aesthetics of Disgust and Julia Kristeva’s Powers of Horror, comes a study of beauty in darkness, death in life and strength within fragility.

Rosie’s work navigates the threshold between horror and grace, each film frame or photograph becomes a tableau vivant1, confronting the viewer with the vulnerability of the human form and its unsettling truths. Through this surreal lens INCISURA challenges conventional ideals of beauty and invites introspection, dialogue and an acceptance of the complex nature of our shared feminine experiences.
