Resonance

I am referencing autobiographical moments and rhythmic patterns of self-reflection. My interest in the shift between how a woman is seen and how she sees herself, emotional fluctuations, and a perpetual distancing from self, inform my understanding of the role silence plays in shaping identity.

Influenced by my experiences as a woman, daughter, wife, and mother, I am intrigued by the inner tensions that result when socially prescribed constructs for these roles challenge personal narrative, both real and imagined, and the transformative nature of self perception that inevitably occurs over time. I feel compelled to explore the relationship between female identity and its representations in society taking special interest in memory, privacy, intimacy and sexuality. I see the mind and body as more than thought and feeling but as something more expansive which is distributed in the world and projected onto objects. I incorporate these material forms as markers of time, place, and personal significance, using photography to create a visual language for musings of worth, vulnerability, and power. Inspired by Virginia Woolf, my practice originates in a deeply personal space. I become my own witness shifting autobiographical explorations into a shared female experience.
