There's a few motifs that make up the visual language in my pieces: the chair, text, and farm/butcher imagery. All of which add delightful vacancies in the work further establishing a quiet, tender space where I feel safe to whisper secrets to the viewer and express qualms with my own femininity. The chair has become me, it allows me to separate the person I present to others (the chair) and the person I recognize as myself (the artist). This allows me to analyze myself, criticize myself, to collect myself and to comfort myself. Farm/butchery imagery connects to my womanhood, more specifically how it is commonplace for women to be used and taken advantage of, much like how farm animals are grown to be hollowed out, relieved of their better parts.
