ARTIST STATEMENT


 

My work comes from an interest in the everyday performance of womanhood and the ways we construct feminine identity. I explore the female relationship to her body and its resilience despite scrutiny and commodification.

I use disguise to reference psychological masking and the code-switching between public and private self. I also reference the imaginary audience phenomenon that shows women to be more aware of being watched by an invisible audience in comparison to men.

I am interested in our culture of observation, voyeurism in the digital age and the elements women use to shape our appearances and identities.
