ARTIST STATEMENT
My work blurs the line between sculpture, performance, and activism. Primarily working in live performance, I consistently uses found objects, food, and interpretive data in sculptural ways to enhance and document patriarchal issues. Heavily rooted in research, I explores historical regulatory measures and how they have shaped our expectations of womxn in American society.
