Artist Statement
Through video, performance, photography, and text, I explore the complexities and confusions<br />that surround the act of love and the dynamics of vulnerability. What are the areas where our<br />preconceived notions fall short. How do we hold on to beauty amidst fear and failure? My work<br />approaches motherhood from within this framework as I process the ramifications of the<br />transformation into “mother” and the simultaneous shift in her relationship to time and mortality.<br />Ultimately, the work explores the concurrent existence of bliss and fear, birth/life and death,<br />resistance and acquiescence.
