Artist Statement
I find an inherent absurdity, a beautiful grotesqueness, to the burdens and pains of the feminine condition and all the ways in which women are socialized. My art is anchored in a fascination, too, with the fleshy realities of the living, breathing, bleeding human body. There is a profound discomfort to existing within a world that is so critical towards your personhood, but it is this experience that compels me to create, crafting satire out of endurance and making pieces that examine the intricacies of womanhood as I recognize it. Rich in exaggeration, my work is instilled with a humor that relishes in discomfort and recognizes the contradictions at the core of the woman’s condition. I can trace each piece back to my own admiration and observations of the women closest to me, my inspiration woven into the fiber of the tears they’ve shed. I study their lives and draw upon the stories they’ve told, internalizing each lesson they’ve passed down to me. Bit by bit, they’ve give me the implements of my art, and bit by bit, I pull back their layers and dissect them in pieces, digesting, exposing, exploring, and crafting a reverence for their collective story.
