Statement

It’s a fluke any of us exist in the first place.
Our abilities and inequities are received by one generation,
edited by countless survival decisions, and passed onto the next.

Using my body as a measure for scale, Notes on Self is an ongoing
series of installations that quietly, nearly imperceptibly respond to
their environment. Gradually shifting and changing over time, they
blur the boundaries between sculpture and drawing. A recent project,
Ghost (wall), 2010, a diaphanous grid of like-sized, mesh cubes
sewn to the artist’s body dimensions, brings to mind thoughts
about presence and absence, sexuality, fertility, and aging.
