Artist Statement

Treatment defines a relationship. Here material repair and incision are gestures of agency; they are interventions of both ordinary and imperative tending.

Composed of soft, deflated sculptures, and drawings of mechanical garments, my work forms a reconstructed body. The mixed use of textiles tangibly induces material moments of synesthesia. Parallels of metal (hard and cold) with cloth (soft and warm), give memory to the temperature of the body. The attitude of the body is liberated or hindered by the sculpture or "garment" produced.
