My goals are to produce work that is connected to human experience and looking at the human condition. At times delving into the underbelly of emotions and finding beauty in the chaos and sometimes dysfunction. The nature of my work Is autobiographical as in most artists. It is an amalgam of sculpture, painting, installation, theater and fashion. most of the time using the female form to express my ideas. My past training includes a professional theatrical background with a concentration in acting and directing. I am interested in performaning who we are, how we see ourselves and describing gender is a reoccurring theme. The process of documentation in used throughout my work and is just as important as the finished product. I work comfortably between different disciplines or mediums and are interested in finding links between them. In order to explain a situation or a particular psychological experience, I set up scenarios using myself and others to photograph. these then become inspiration and images to work with. The end result either is three -dimensional or two-dimensional.
