My work examines the literal and figurative boundaries of the body. Through photography, video, collage, installation and object-making, I unravel issues of illness, family, memory, longing and loss. As a queer woman living with a cluster of auto-immune diseases, I’m interested in both making the invisible illness visible and finding beauty in pain and restriction. Most recently, I’m interested in exploring radical inter-dependency and love, particularly through the dream of communal, poly and d/s relationships.
I piece together materials that are imprinted with the shape of the body such as socks, gloves, and my own skin with materials like shower curtains, balloons and fashion magazines . The patchwork of these materials form a personal language that speaks to the fuzzy intersection of my personal desires and feminine cultural expectations.
