The New Body

This explorative series is about the women who have fundamentally changed me. There is power that exists in images of myself and other resolute women as a base for my abstract work. In that moment, the model’s self-assurance is exalted, whether it be me or someone else. Photography adds an element of documentation. It is raw and real, unlike my large abstract paintings, that function as an expressive interpretation of who I am. The New Body is a series of work normalizing self-sexualization. It is about anyone who identifies as a woman and who understands the complexity of body image issues. It is about unveiling my truest self while venerating others. It echoes vulnerability and power in a symbiotic chamber.
