About:
As a gender nonconforming person there is a tension between my external body and internal sense of self. In order to relieve that tension, I take photographs of myself, fracture, and then reassemble the pieces to create new forms that better fit my mental image. Using these processes, I create these small, double-sided textiles. Just like a human body, each piece is unique—with no fronts or backs and no wrong way to view or display. They are made slowly, with careful attention to form, line, and color, striving for balance and harmony. These works become simulacrums, extensions of myself that portray a more accurate picture of my body.
