Artist Statement
Artmaking is my microscope and my scalpel: the tool I use to investigate the human body through sensation and imagination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My work explores the complexity of internal and external body image, its roots in the notion of hysteria, and the ways that we misinterpret or mis-imagine our physical selves. Illness and injury, reproductive systems, bodily function, power, and mass media are all key elements of my visual research. Through public projects and collaborative zines I exchange stories of bodily experience to provoke dialogue both in the art world and beyond it. This inquiry allows me to transform misunderstanding and anxiety into a personal, magical, powerful re-visioning of alternative anatomies.
