Eostre Eats Estradiol, 2017, is a performance-to-camera video work that imagines ancient fertility goddesses undergoing assisted reproductive treatment. As such it both invokes these deities and laments the absence of their influence. The work questions, and suggests parallels between, the belief systems underpinning both ritual and cutting-edge medical approaches to infertility, demonstrating an ambivalence as to which might be most effective.
Eostre Eats Estradiol was originally created for the 2018 exhibition Transitional States: Hormones at the Crossroads of Art and Science, which toured to Project Space Plus, Lincoln; Peltz Gallery, London; Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, Spain; and LABS Gallery Arte Contemporanea, Bologna, Italy. The work was also shown in Visions of Science, The Edge, University of Bath in 2018. In 2019 the work was screened at the Barbican, London as part of Fertility Fest and was shown at Cavó, Trieste in the group exhibition Transitions.
