Artist Statement
My work explores the body as a site of violence, power, intimacy, and political discourse, serving as a personal record. I deconstruct these memories into their essential elements in order to evoke and universalize them. Using sculpture, video, audio, and painting, I explore how the body recalls this history. I frequently employ my body in the work through representation and performance. Investigating themes of fetishization, euphoria, manipulation, and obsession, my work often appears in exaggerated and absurd forms. I use overt sexualization, saturated colors, digital decay, and warped figures to engage the viewer and reconcile my relationship with my body and its memory.
