ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A continuation of my interest in the boundaries of the inside and the outside, this image grapples with notions of privacy and intimacy. Referring to the history of painting bathers, I wanted to create a dissonance between the solitude and idleness of the figure in blue and the active gathering in the room above. The image is more of a question, on the edge of an occurrence, rather than a conclusion or an answer. What does privacy mean to women? Where can one place solitude in the patriarchal context of being surveilled and “othered”? The monkey is an important anchor point in this sense, because not only is he symbolic of the male gaze, but also directly addresses the gaze of viewer.

My work explores the figuration of femininity through the lens of otherness, mythology, and historical forms of fiction. By depicting mundane acts within uncanny spaces, I enjoy creating renderings of intimacies like comfort, desire, awkwardness or, at times, solitude. I employ mediums such as painting, drawing, and printmaking to build narratives suggesting a form of storytelling that questions how women grapple with the I and the Other; the inside and the outside; the subject and the object. Observational and experimental drawings, writing, digital collages and photography are all a significant part of my process. In the past couple of years the act of drawing has emerged as the central point of research for my artistic practice. I have continued to explore the process of mark-making through various mediums, the most recent being printmaking.
