ARTIST STATEMENT

As an artist I am very interested in the concealed and disguised elements of our culture. Colloquially speaking, these are the things that are “seen but not heard” or that “go on behind closed doors”. This interest manifests itself in a variety of ways within my work but most frequently develops into social commentary about contemporary feminist concerns within my community. As a natural progression from this broad concept, my art also delves into issues of female censorship as well as the impact of religious institutions on the regulation of the female body.
