Working Artist Statement

My work hinges on the implications and expectations that the modern woman can “have it all”. I use the body and it’s adornments to express both the multitude of capabilities inherent in being a modern female, and the tiring restraints that are self inflicted and culturally imposed. Using my body, it’s gesture and inherent expressive qualities, I aim to both question and convey modern expectations of dress and behavior by showing strain, self-confidence, traditional values and modern drive and success.
