Summerhayes’ work comes to play with the day to day approach of feminism and politics in the art world, thus producing new and unique ways that her work adapts to our modern society and translates through any reader. Her practice is material led and interdisciplinary, and works within a feminist and theoretical framework. The artist utilises many different materials to create installations which break through social boundaries to change thought and expectations of identity within society; exploring, experimenting and pushing the mediums to their limits, creating juxtapositions of objects/sculptures that suggest moments of calm within shocking matters.
