STATEMENT

In the past, I have often used my drawings of the model to make figurative mixed media work, and I have recently returned to this with a series called “The True You.” In this series, I have played with gender identity, which has been a focus in current politics. I am currently using found vintage photos, vintage style wrapping paper, and maps to create the figure. As with all of my work, I am interested in the formalities of picture-making as well as the narratives that can lie beneath the surface.
