The title is taken from the poem, Truth is I would like to escape myself, by Nour al Ghraowi. My approach to the human figure is to simplify the form, and avoid clear markers of self, such as race, age, or facial features. This approach is influenced in both form and color by artists such as Matisse, Hyangmok Baik, and local North Carolina-based Reneesha Mccoy. I’m interested in how female and femme identifying bodies and the ways others read them – the parts we have, the way we look, with whom we share them – are used to confer power, limit rights, exercise control, and interrogate identity. Excluding the head and face is a way to both communicate how our bodies are seen as objects without personalities or thoughts, and how we can transcend the visual aspect of our presentation and retain and control the privacy of our own thoughts, emotions, and identities.

United States
Originally from England, I settled in the US after several years of overseas travel. After completing my graduate studies in psychology at Rutgers in New Jersey, I moved with my family to North Carolina. I returned to art making in 2016 as a way to process loss. This has transformed into an exploration of identity, vulnerability, risk, and loss.
