Artist Statement
My work is very material- and process-based, utilizing languages
associated with painting, fiber, and printmaking. I create
soft sculptures, paintings, and installations that point to the
conversation on the isolated body, one that is going through
mental and emotional etiology. Through the use of synthetic
material such as faux fur, silicone, and other materials and
processes associated with craft and print, I push the experience
of the viewer to one that is disorienting and conducive of their
own bodily awareness as it relates to surrounding objects. As
the fibrous material sits heavy against the wall or floor, it has
an alluring quality that raises the question of our fascination
with fragile sculptures and imagery, especially when they are
deconstructed and abject. In exploring these situations of the
body, the work engages an ongoing dialogue around beauty
in the grotesque, while relating to both internal and external
experiences.
