Framed:Her Body 2024
The work in this series is made from vellum, watercolor paper, rice paper, tissue paper, wax, pigment, acrylic, and wood frames.
Central to my work is how materiality, representation, and experience might shift ideological paradigms that systematically perpetuate stereotypes, normalize divisive practices, and diminish the body's holistic possibilities.
Framed: Her Body has come from exploring theoretical and pragmatic structures that are internalized into beliefs, cultural norms, and subjective perspectives. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, historical contexts, and contemporary discourses, my installation serves as a platform for dialogue and introspection. They invite viewers to confront their preconceptions and engage with the profound social and cultural implications of gendered embodiment.

This artwork was a public making; combining the integration of where, how and what processes were used to create the artwork. Homework uses the inspiration from Sara Ahmed, Living a feminist Life. This artwork contemplates the boundaries of the whole person, stealing, using, and documenting from the everyday and ordinary domestic environment and then embracing, exploring, and destroying to create something ‘other’. The film and the wrestled box body were displayed in the group exhibition, MK Calling 2020.

Threshold , Site-specific installation
Milton Keynes Gallery, Milton Keynes, UK., 2017. Specialized plaster, filament.
140 cm x 80 cm x 1-2 cm. This artwork was a casting of the gallery floor before major gallery renovations.
Threshold is about considering the relation of the body to the precariousness of change; the phenomenal and metaphorical transformation when moving from one place to another. The site is intrinsic to our negotiation through the distance between things, the boundaries of the body, self and what is unknown, intermingling contemporaneously.
ME YOU ME
ME YOU ME, 2016, RAUM Gallery. Camberwell College of Art, London, UK.
This was a solo exhibition that was two metaphorical bodies choreographed in the space alongside a projection of the making process on site. This artwork is re-performed in different locations as interventions; the exhibition creates a platform for my research around sexual differences where I perform my body, in this instance, it actualizes my research in a public space, creating visibility of the research mediated by the film and the metaphorical box bodies. I question what the body might be and where the body might be in public exhibitions.
