My practice digs at the complexities of intimacy, power, and violence embedded in navigating womanhood. As a daughter raised by a single mother in a family of daughters, I use sculpture, fibers, printmaking, and painting to dissect the tension between agent and expectation within intimate and social encounters. An image of myself constantly accompanies me, and violating eyes hold up a mirror to my face, saying, "Look, this is what you are!" This is a reminder that I am my first and third voyeur. I am watching myself being looked at.

Your body is not your own when you are a vessel for someone else's imagination, for that matter. This work is deeply personal, buried in the visceral language of the body. I reclaim the narrative and unravel the harm ingrained in our collective understanding of sex, intimacy, and womanhood, breaking away from the notion of a naked body as a clean slate for expression and, instead, proving female nakedness as a politically charged object.
