Artist StatementI’m interested in the relationship between females and their bodies, as well as, what makes up the social expectations that govern them. I mix fiber art and digital applications to compose bright, loud images of confidence. Cracks and glitches mirror the unsustainable nature of beauty standards and the hidden enhancements we accept as reality. Each piece is hand stitched with patience, creating reflections of obsession and perfection.
