Abstract:
"The light installation series 'I am not what you made me' and accompanying pieces came about through material study and investigations in expressionistic self portraiture. My recent emphasis in performance art and graphic design has largely influenced this body of work. These figures maintain an illustrative, stylized form while repetitive action and close attention to materiality separate them from the page. I drew with thread, thousands of tiny pinpricks and fluorescent light, guiding these broken, submissive figures off their knees and into awakening. I worked, reworked, and unwound in an attempt to find renovation and rebirth through the act of undoing.'
