I create a body under tension that appears airy and delicate while being confined by structure. Stylized fabric sculptures made of clean, new materials stand in for the gore of viscera and, like a facelift, help create a heightened awareness of what is not there—the oily, wrinkled, flaky, sweaty reality of one’s own fallible body.
