Artist Statement

I work in porcelain, a material prized for its beauty and fragility yet capable of remarkable strength. Drawing on cultural, historical, and corporeal notions of the female body, my sculptures expand the feminist visual vernacular.

In a world built by and for men, women’s bodies have long been battlegrounds—pathologized and othered. Through mirroring and splitting, I examine the body’s dual state as subject and object. Skeletal figures, eerie embryos, prying hands, bruised skin, and abortifacient plants populate porcelain works that seduce as they unsettle.
