About
My work is about the fragility and mortality of the human body. I reference psychological and physical traces of trauma on the body, using visual experiences of trauma as the subject matter. I use traditional painting methods along with print techniques and sculpture to create different visual catharses. My work abstracts and depicts the gross and abjected parts of humanness and flesh in a glistening and seductive way. This helps one cope and recode trauma of the loss of control over one's body when it’s hurt. It allows individuals to commiserate their body, and gives a moment of reflection in how the body can all at once be torn; damaged, bruised, oozing, crusted, infectious yet enchanting and ethereal.
