In this body of work (not shown here in full), images are pushed together and pulled apart from themselves as they are layered across different mediums and environments.
The repeated attempt to record a body and its counterparts (the nature it can be identified with, the spaces it remembers) causes the body to be warped.
The contortion and partial disappearance of the body represents the after effects of violence as mind/ body relationships heal.
Creating a layer between the body and a viewer both criticizes the systems we use to visualize the physical, while using that very buffer as a moment of pause and sanctuary, where these systems of viewing can begin to be unwound and prodded.
Re-imaging the body through self portraiture is a way of re-imagining how the body can function beyond the social and personal memories it holds.
