Artist Statement

As a visual artist, I create large-scale sculptures and installations that confront the disempowerment of women and gender inequity. I’m interested in the ways—and the reasons - women have historically been granted less value and agency than their male counterparts. The consistent evidence across cultures - and within cultural creation myths - is not incidental. I create work to push back and call attention to the enduring cultural norms that support, encourage, and perpetuate these inequities.

Using the human body as my subject, I cast plaster-impregnated fabric onto live bodies holding postures or gestures that feel emotionally charged - such as apprehension, defiance, or exhaustion. These casts are often combined with mixed media, including textiles, organic matter, and found objects - materials that carry both meaning and memory. I continue to develop each piece by layering: casting, painting, and embedding fragments of form, texture, and narrative. The result is a visual story shaped by research, lived experience, and reflection.

Through large-scale sculptures and installations, I strive to create work that is visually intense and emotionally direct. I believe change begins with awareness - a moment when something shifts and can’t be unseen. My hope is that my work will spark conversation, challenge how we see women’s roles in society, and contribute to the ongoing push toward real equality.
