Drowned

Now, as an adult and an artist, I am reinventing the dark and fantastical actions I would never dare act out as a child. In many of my works, I depict characters who are longing for sexual and psychological interaction, but various barriers prevent them from engaging with one another. They remain perpetually isolated, vulnerable, and longing for companionship. Their elusive search mirrors my own.

I began my exploration in photography, but my most recent works have been in the medium of video. My videos are looped and the speed of the image is manipulated to go either extremely fast or slow, reducing the narratives to their fundamental expressions and relationships. The works are displayed on 7� screens that are matted and framed as if they were still photographs. Thus, the viewer is able to explore the ambiguity of the images, allowing them to be whatever they are at any given moment: a still image, a video, a moving painting. The audio component functions as a disjointing element, adding an unexpected playful quality to an otherwise dark and haunting narrative.

Punished

In my work, I have also explored the nature of relationships and the perpetual shifting dynamics between people and their various roles. I am fascinated by how these roles inform each other and how they are never static in nature, but rather constantly subject to change as they evolve. As an artist, I have examined roles and ideas from the perspective of a child. Now, as a parent, I am able to see myself in the role of my own mother, gaining a better understanding of how these cycles come together, full circle.
