Subdermal Plasticity: Histories of Contraception, draws from my own embodied experience of having Nexplanon implants inserted, removed and re-inserted over the course of the last eight years.

The work looks to navigate my own relationship to hormonal contraception and both the pleasures and disappointments its use can entail. Reflecting also, on the social and technological evolution of contraception, from the use of acacia leaves, pomegranate seeds, and wool in ancient Egyptian and Greek cultures to the introduction of hormone-releasing vaginal rings in the twenty-first century.
