Leap

The central point of Leap is an iris and pupil, the window to thoughts memories, and from where we see. How each person experiences love evolves from here. Surrounding and covering the eye are images, literal and figurative, that represent a journey of broken love that travels to recovery and beyond. The work explores the fear of repeat hurt and a desire to protect, contrasted with feelings of hope and transcendence from that broken place. It reflects a desire to reach peace with love, to make a Leap of faith.

Shine Your Lie On Me

Painted with the pandemic in mind, particularly reflecting the sacrifice and loss mothers have experienced as a result of schools shuttering their doors. In a broader sense, the lie is the notion that women still do not have economic equality with men by virtue of disparate impacts of workplace ideology and laws.

Okay

Okay represents our common response to hurt, trauma, loss. Friends, families, strangers say they are sorry for whatever our problem is, and we say, “It is okay.” We are conditioned to avoid sharing deeper feelings, even if we are not okay. This piece represents the hidden pain behind every forced “okay.”

Ask

This piece invites the audience to question how we view a female nude, which is respected as the subject of artworks but not necessarily respected in real life. In that moment of exposed vulnerability, does her lover ask what she wants, if anything? Is she taken or does she give? Does society view her as an object or someone of substance?
