Expressing sex and sexuality in art through the female gaze is, historically speaking, loaded. It is only within the last few decades that it has become socially acceptable for sex to be presented as content by my female contemporaries. Being aware of this reality, I became drawn to the use of sexuality as a way to express a range of ideas including power, identity, human relationships, and societal structures.
My work relies heavily on line, space, and abstraction. I view my drawings as an abbreviated retelling of a moment or idea through the use of iconographic symbolism, a language I am piecing together with imagery that is in part borrowed and alternatively of my own design.
