The lip collection is a series of lips floating in space. The biro collection is inspired by Julia Randall 'Lick Line' however, the subject is based on the artist's lips.

Our lips and tongues are something we use all the time, yet they are highly intimate. People perceive full lips as sexual but it is a critical part of the body, we need it to intake food and to for the articulation of sound and speech.

'Full lips' are usually related to Afro-centric features and are perceived as sexual organs on black females. The lip collection presents black girls lips in floating space. The set can be perceived as the lips bouncing around, whilst having an intellectual conversation slowly invading the surrounding space with intellect and brilliance.
