Artist Statment
Severe health-based intrusive thoughts, bodily dysmorphia, and gender dysphoria are personal daily issues that art has given me an outlet to control. For Bits and Pieces I embrace this and my personal drive to learn to love this body in which I reside. Each piece leans into the disconnect between the internal workings of the body and the viewer's identifiable self. Through my work, you are invited to check in with your own human systems, and internally reflect on the discomfort and allure that is contained in our flesh. Displeasing realities, fatty tissues, and health anomalies are blended with ornate decoration in delicate ceramic and placed on pedestals to represent the preciousness that makes us. In many ways my work is self portraiture, and in many others it is a representation of something we each share. The grotesque truth of what lies under our skin is something to be gazed upon.
