Biography

The human body occupies the main site of my visual practice. The body as source of experience and an exploration of it’s vulnerability. The transformation - and translation - of materiality and desire.

As a woman I see painting as a response - a possibility to describe another narrative, a prospect of change. Sometimes I explore the illusions of the body depicted in history key moments in social periods. Through the process of making I reimagine to connect to the present or future, the re-envisioning of self and society.

As Derrida writes Pregnances

“In a way, a woman says of her own as a woman: “I have no history,” or “this version of history is not mine but yours… and I’m showing it to you, representing it to you after the fact, with other eyes, a woman’s eyes.”

I play with the idea of fluidity in paint, medium, and forms - of something always moving: subjectivity in the material. My recent work using three dimensional structures is an exploration of the mutable- a line that circumnavigates space. The figures intertwine and combine, always moving, never static and the sculptures are designed to change and reconfigure.

The paint and processes change as do the supports - working in film, sculpture print and a variety of investigative approaches, I explore what and how an idea in the medium can be visible .I try to find the materiality of the invisible
