My work is a confessional as much as a catharsis. I create abstract sculptural installations that draw on the emotion connected with personal experiences that have been disempowering to my sense of self and womanhood. I use material whose malleability reveals delicacies that are desecrated the further I work with it — akin to ideas of body and consciousness being used over and over. Red acts the central essence and tie in all these pieces, emulating intimate emotionality and physicality.

I use performance to insert my body into the work and to wire through the intimacy of that version of myself that rests within these moments. I allow myself to reassemble my feelings towards these experiences and simultaneously cite references to symbols of wine — as a subject of power and idea with the physical stain of memory — and found items that implicate specific American collegiate organizations and societal mentalities.
