Movement has always been an important element of my work. I see my drawings as being primarily performance-based—as actions that are preformed rather than objects that are made. What is left is a record of movement, one body responding to another.
As an artist who works primarily with the figure, I am acutely aware of the politics of image-making, especially when a human figure is involved. Through my performance-based practice my own body becomes implicated in the work, complicating the relationship between subject and object. I seek to blur boundaries through my drawn works, creating alternate possibilities for looking at and imaging the body. |
