My artwork considers the body as social, political, medical, and finite. My research centers on the contested space of bodies as they intersect with care, feminism, and aging. I produce work in an expanded printmaking practice of iteration, the multiple, objects, performance and social practice. The work performs the body, often mine, or the body performs the work. I employ the visual vocabularies of politics and medicine and the objects and gestures of caregiving to agitate physical and metaphorical points of connection/disconnect between bodies. Using take-aways, interactions, transactions, and activations, I invite bodies into a communion of care.
