sorry for the mess

Hi hi! Each of the images in this series are printed on fabric coated vinyl paper and either adhered directly to the wall or mounted to wooden panels ranging from 1-7 inches in depth. Thank you for your consideration.

sorry for the mess is a series of images, sculptures, and video works all focused on a prolonged moment of performative intimacy. Each image included was made in the past year and explores how I grappled with togetherness during that time. Though people's forms take on new meanings once photographed, the figures in each image include myself, friends, and family. With each image I am examining my personal desires and longings while reorienting my current circumstances. Focusing on bodies within domestic spaces, such as living rooms or backyards, the performances were captured between New York and Texas at my current apartment, childhood home, and borrowed spaces in between. I aim to reconstruct the figures, places, and gestures in my work to create scenes that are a mix of the familiar and the odd. Looking at comparisons between old and new bodies, moles and tattoos, shapes and shadows, the work lives within the duality of existence.
