| About the Artist |
Through this work, I intend to cultivate the connection between the symbolism of ephemeral female existence
found throughout various cultures and their culminated translation in relation to our own. This exploration spans
the fabled beginnings of existence through the sila na geiges of Celtic origin, the birth of all life from the matrix in
the story of the Mexicas, and the visual interpretation of interdisciplinary technological and traditional elements of
Fluxus. The vaginal mixed media works explore the subliminal tension of discovery, fear, and love in the realm
of the Woman. The openings in the face of the pieces allow the viewer glimpses into intimate conversations,
photographic moments of personal inspection, and personal objects representing them both. |
