Artist Statement

My artwork revolves around the actions and abstractions of femme bodies, depicting them not as a passive subject to be represented but as an active, embodied form of resistance to the neglect and suppression navigated daily in the dominant domain of whispered misogyny. By creating work that resists easy assimilation, I seek to unravel entrenched beliefs and engage in multifaceted dialogues that disrupt the boundaries of thought and language itself. My intellectual interests blur with a fascination with how abstract forms and fragmented narratives can engage with complex, multifaceted experiences. Objects and installations that camouflage, reflect and distort – hyper-visible imperceptibility. Capturing the elusive nature of experience itself – the way memories, traumas and desires are often fragmented, hazy and incomplete. By transforming seemingly functional forms into objects that both beckon and repel.

I am deeply concerned with how material culture shapes our perception of the body, particularly the femme body; materials are active agents that convey meaning, emotion and identity. Often working insitu and drawing from the existing architecture, I believe in feminizing spaces designed for a male body, which is not mine. My practice is a negotiation between excess and restraint, a dynamic reflection of the contradictions inherent in a woman's lived experience. Sustainability, for me, it is not just an environmental concern but a social one. In the context of deferred maintenance, we recognize the political nature of repair. Decisions are made about what deserves attention and repair and what this looks like. My work critiques these choices, engaging with the tension between neglect and care and questioning the social determination of which lives are deserving of such care.
