Artist Statement

My practice contextualizes the primitive energy that is submerged beneath the layers of garments especially used leather gloves. Through the processes of deconstructing and reconstructing materials into symbolic forms, I uncover the hidden intimate and sensual power of humanity. It is a moment when ordinary objects become surreal and uncanny in order to redeem the socially constructed expectations and perceptions.
