My recent work involves the reemergence of nature's impulses in the machinations of biological urges, gender role-playing, and the paradox of sexual attraction as compromised by cultural appropriation.
I use garments and shoes as anthropomorphic stand-ins, exposing permutations rather than concealing them.
I use uncommon materials such as hair, porcupine quills, teeth, and dressmaker pins arduously affixed to the objects to re-create the surface.
I am interested in both idea and process equally.
