Hysterical Body (Black) Sculpture

I make sculptural objects as well as digital work, exploring the human relationship to objects. The stuff around us — our clothes, our chachkies, our mementos; they are materializations of our beliefs and alive though our desires. In turn, our bodies are trapped in the world of things, defined by their shape and function. I concentrate on discreet, intimate instances of such relationships. In the past, I have worked with household items like window drapes and table cloths, interested the desires and wishes they embody. Recently I have focused on the human body, an entity that can be both an object and a subject, vibrating between two states like a charged particle. I have used clothing and digital imagery to take apart the idea of the body and then re-build it. My process weaves the digital and physical together, allowing my thinking to be parsed through these two media. Using digital documentation of my own body and found images and objects, I subject the idea of the body to various experiments. Through these processes I can see it change from a subject to an object to a non-thing, devoid of use or sentimental value. In turn, the artifacts that connote the body — clothing and images documenting it, take on a life of their own, animating into the world as something more than they once were.
