My research includes an interest in older cultures and societies such as the Mandan and Lakota Indians of North America who employed often tortuous initiation rites for young men. Our contemporary attitudes to the human body are often rooted in ancient rituals and practices.
My work seems to be in constant flux. Currently, I’m making installations from various materials including household fabrics like curtains and bedsheets. I’m interested in skin. It’s the largest organ of our bodies and the means by which we encounter so much of the world. I’ve been combining liquid latex with found fabrics and other materials to make variously draped and globular forms.
