ARTIST STATEMENT
Through drawings and strokes, my gaze goes to the essentials of objects, nature, and the human body. My marks are gestures that respond to the physical impulse to draw, turn over, and evoke what is recycled in my memory to represent or transform experiences. I experiment with the shape of the human body to explore femininity, queerness, and the power structures that act on bodies. Likewise, I’m interested in the contemplation of lines, studies of nature, and the abstractions of popular culture.
