My image-based practice explores the process and results of transformation through the use of my own body as a performative object. I draw upon a catalog of props - familiar and obscure, ready-made and invented, static and locomotive. I construct images by positioning these props together with my body in unaccustomed ways that result in the de-contextualization of either the body or the object.
By using my own body as the primary vehicle of expression, I am able to convey certain subjective experiences that are beyond the scope of everyday experience. Though rooted in real experiences, my work sidesteps literal interpretation. This is deliberate as my goal is to visually confront the viewer with unexpected experiences.
