At 15 in the 1970s I was groomed by an older guy in his mid twenties who was ‘cool’ and ‘hip’ and I was thrilled to be paid attention by him until he tried to rape and strangle me in the ‘lovers’ part of the big park. I couldn’t tell anyone and we had no words to describe grooming. Or boundaries.

I always thought the tagline on this was interesting - ‘thick skin’. No mention of the reason why, which was the men in the audience screaming violent threats and sexually abusive insults at me while I performed, in a way they absolutely did not do at the male performers.

Tower: acrylic on approximately A1 canvas. Did this the day before my operation, it changes as you walk past it due to the metallic elements in the composition. For Sale.
