"Looking towards mass media advertising, fashion, and the surplus of images that surround us, my work investigates contemporary perceptions of identity by questioning what is "real" as the world becomes increasingly artificial due to technological advances and the development of new moral and social infrastructures. Although my paintings feature figures that are often larger than life and appear frozen in awkward positions, they are not intended as subjects in a traditional sense. Rather, they are merely spatial elements of movement and stillness that extend from autonomous living backgrounds. In this regard my work reflects a female perception of reality; the figures' presences question the validity of their role as subjects, their gaze creating and questioning ours.

My paintings explore the relationship between imagination and reality and critique the emphasis in today's society of appearance over essence. My use of fashion as inspiration is merely an act of remaking and revising previously successful object/symbols celebrated by society—it is a way to emphasize the transformation and metamorphosis of the era we live in. Playing with traditional techniques and themes, and the contrast of collaged materials, resins, and the chemical adhesion of pigment to cloth, the physical nature of the textile becomes a hybrid form of chemical imbalance that parallels the development of today's foundation-altering technologies (such as nanorobotics and artificial life) and their imminent implications for the fabric of human consciousness."
