My fine art practice is situated in the many tiny intersections between identity, feminism, and mental health to help better understand the physical and metaphysical spaces we occupy as human beings, on large and small scales. To do this, I often combine moving image, photography, embroidery, and alternative development processes, most often cyanotype and van dyke processes. The themes that drive my work have always been politically, philosophically, and socially based. I’m an observer and a researcher, and I love getting lost in the process and details of each project.
Physical manipulation is a common theme in my practice, as it better communicates the purpose of my projects. I enjoy the experimentation, the trepidation, and the slight imperfections that inevitably arise in the manipulation processes. This concept repeats itself in my digital work – in cut-and-paste digital collages, digitally altered self-portraits, etc. Experimentation and fun drive my aesthetic decisions while being anchored in theory and research.
