statement: “Despite a dim awareness of our own subjectivity, the individual
reality that belongs to each of us is experienced as concrete and self-evident.
I am interested in the moment when the self-evidence of our own experiences is
challenged by confrontation with the other, the infinity of realities that
exist outside of our own. I attempt to make performative objects that address the ways
in which social meaning is projected onto the forms of the body. I manipulate
anatomical signifiers of gender, race, age, and other identity characteristics
to encourage viewers to confront their feelings about normalcy, difference, and
what defines human. By creating a tension between the intellectual reality of
the static object and the emotional drama of exaggerated expressions I hope to
imply the self-consciousness and artifice that are present both in formal
theatre/cinema and in our everyday projections of our selves”.
