Abstract
With my work I dissect human forms, allowing me to further understand the bodily systems within myself. By intervening on the harmony of my body, I reveal intestinal, arterial and other biomorphic forms that exist in a state of tension and disorder. Bodies, flayed like frogs in a high school science class, are my explorative responses to my own anxieties and fears about my body and health. Physically embodying sharp, tight, and sporadic pain, my work exists between a measured, scientific inquiry and a chaotic, manic probe of the human anatomy.
