For years I worked as an artists model, a fully exposed yet anonymous presence. Through related performances, installations, and prints I inhabit the boundary between visibility and invisibility, motion and stillness, immersion and isolation. In the play between absence and presence, the body's "trace" and replication, there is a constant struggle between the desire to be autonomous and the desire to merge. Collapsing the spaces between figure and ground, reality and illusion, body art and figuration, I aim not to deny dualities, but explore the subtle fabric that shifts between them.

    My own body acts as artist, model, and medium. I print with hair cuttings and rubber castings made from parts of my body onto paper and my own skin. Entire spaces are created from a small fragment: entered, reflected upon, transformed. I wish to defy or redefine the limitations of my corporeal body, to have a dialogue with my own image, one that expresses the anxieties and pleasures of the contemporary body. I seek the place where the simulated, the metaphorical, and the corporeal body converge.
