I create this work as a gesture to reach for myself, to remember my body. In demystifying and remystifying the body through meticulous craft-based object making, I investigate the history surrounding the female form and its depictions, as well as ideas around the beautiful, grotesque, and diseased. My work, heralding from my obsessions with women of the bible, wild women, and witches, questions how I and other women navigate our bodies as entities that are homogeneously hidden, foreign, familiar, and sacred. This frenzy to connect with my body via object making has taken me into processes that resonate with the female body and the concepts that surround it. This has included the repetitive and methodical material processes such as nickel chasing and repousse, embroidery, wool felting, and ceramics. Coming together, these objects form the contorted body with varying states of fragmentation and abstraction. Legs, hands, and breasts, amalgamate with pinks and reds reminiscent of fresh and oxidized menstrual blood to produce a story that is personal and deeply universal to so many women.
