Born from artist Deborah Phillips' own menopausal experience, this sculptural piece began with a plastered mannequin torso, layered in Modroc bandages and texture. The oversized head bursts open to reveal a cavity filled with vibrant "brain matter" and symbolic clutter — a joyful mishmash of tiny objects representing the mental overload of this transformative chapter.
Hand-painted with flowing gold, orange, and green hues, the surface suggests that hot, melting feeling we often endure. Words and phrases relating to menopause are scrawled across the body — an open and honest narrative in visual form. Finished with high-gloss archival varnish, the sculpture is both protected and radiant.
A custom-cut glass lid completes the piece, preserving the internal chaos like a time capsule of lived experience.
