My work investigates sexual politics by questioning stereotypes and confronting the traditionally assumed structure of the gaze. The dynamic of looking and being looked at has always fascinated me. I am intrigued by the rich complexity of emotions inherently tied to both the role of the observer and the observed: emotions that span the spectrum from pleasure to guilt and from objectification to empowerment. I want my art to elicit a full expanse of responses with the hope that much of my audience will teeter on a precarious edge of uncertainty and question the source of their own fears and desires.

Initially, my forms seduce the viewer with familiar erotic poses that beckon a scopophilic gaze – exploiting the pleasure associated with viewing the female body as an object on display for delectation. However, the fluid lines and curves that entice the gaze to twist and wind around sensually posed figures, may in turn repel the viewer as abstract folds reveal uncomfortably suggestive and visceral undulations penetrating and enveloping sections of the form. I hope to create a paradoxical relationship between the viewer and the sculpture; the forms are both familiar objects and recipients of the gaze, and conversely, provocative catalysts disrupting expectations and offering introspective glimpses inside of the anatomy of desire.
