Water takes a primary material role in my process - raw pigments and dyes are applied unbound, mixed solely with water, to canvas and muslin. Forms simultaneously emerge and dissolve as water erodes the rigidity of the medium and ground. I savor the push/pull between deliberate and unintentional movements. My relationship to and physical use of water informs my content: water gives rise to a world that celebrates fluidity. Porous boundaries are usually at odds with a society dependent on clearly defined borders to maintain order. Bodies that menstruate, give birth, are penetrated and suffer metamorphoses have long been portrayed as monstrous. Instead, my work conjures a world in which softness and vulnerability are celebrated instead of shamed. Bodies merge with their environments through immersion, reflection, camouflage, and decay. At times the flesh itself becomes a landscape in its fragility, mutability and resilience. I reconsider porousness and malleability as forces of strength and connection. I lean towards moments which dissolve the separation between outside and inside, me and you, this world and the other-worldly. Ultimately each piece comfortably resides on the threshold of existence and extinction.
