Artist Statement:
My work is a consideration
and investigation of the
journey of physical identity.
I am inspired by social
consciousness and body
politics, the feminine
experience, and the
relationship one has between
their body and its
surroundings. I am interested
in issues related to personal
boundaries, as well as
cultural boundaries placed on
the body, and the function of
the boundary as creating
dependence of one side on
another for its existence. I
am also interested in the
concept of mapping as a record
of the body’s organic nature
functioning as a guided form
through space and time.
Through these investments, I
find myself making work that
is both obsessive and organic
in its forms, layers, and
processes. My interest in
certain materials, such as
ink, translucent papers, and
collage, informs and effects
the development of an image,
expressing concepts of
reaction, repetition, and
reinterpretation, which
relates to the important
process of tracing in my work.
Tracing is a record of the
past definition of a route,
and a re-experience of a
direction. I see my process of
using tracing as following a
predetermined path in order to
find new ways of considering
the identity of the source.
