About me:

I work primarily with the body, exploring the psychological and biological, the construction of self, image and identity. My practice is difficult to articulate, though there are constants, it shifts, mutates, falls under the influence, loses cohesion. Acknowledging this fact, translation and the struggle to find connection and meaning have become central themes in the work. Often existing in the gaps where understanding fails, spaces between, at the intersection of the real and imaginary, the familiar and the strange. The work approaches balance between opposites, gently engaging with ideas of control, with closeness and distance. The body becomes a doorway to the unconscious, unknown and unseen, an opening in space to another world, slightly out of time. The viewer is encouraged to step closer and look again.
