Representations of femininity and queerness are recurring themes in your work, and they are almost always broken through the lens of psychological horror, violence and surreal imagery. What constitutes the contemporary female experience in your opinion? Why do we feel as attached to the character of the femme fatale today as we did to the likes of Salome, Circe, etc. hundreds of years ago?

I think there still a lot of repressed anger in women that make them feel connected to or understood by these iconic names. There has also been a big online culture of ‘off-putting’ and weird/unhinged girls coming together to share their love of tortured female characters and artists. This ‘femcel’ ‘girl interrupted’ core has definitely opened up this idea of the modern shared female experience, even though its at times slightly annoying and probably not very healthy to consume digitally.

In “I Am Your Daughter” you are at once the holy father, the daughter and the lover. To this holy trinity of sorts you have cemented feelings of desperation and longing for salvation through genuine, unreserved love. Would you like to expand on this?

The upcoming EP is named My Lust Is My Religion, so its kind of a play on this, obsessive love, ritualistic love and desperate love. All the tracks have a sense of longing for something more, something deeper and bigger than yourself.

Let us briefly return to representations of femininity in your work. You propose that showing women as perpetrators of violence rather than victims is an empowerment mechanism and ultimately a way to reclaim a sense of authority, which has historically been stripped away from us. Why do in your opinion so many people find comfort in this otherwise unsettling trope?

Haha have you read my dissertation? I don’t really follow this narrative anymore, I think I watched Jennifers Body too many times. However in the case of that film her eating boys is 100% deserved and many could say empowering, if you were to read it as a rape revenge film, which I would say is quite a valid read.

Are we to expect new projects following the success of “One White Feather”? What about new music?

Yes! I have a second track coming out on November 24th, called ‘Isn’t Life Beautiful?’ and this has an accompanying very short film and I also have an EP coming up soon <3
