STATEMENT:
My work explores how bodies are constructed, circulated and made legible through digital image culture. Working across painting, digital collage and sculpture, I build composite figures from bodily fragments, found imagery and self-sourced material. These figures bring together forms of looking shaped by desire, visibility and online spectatorship.
The bodies are assembled through visible cuts, substitutions and mismatched surfaces. Rather than resolving into stable forms, they remain partial and unstable, exposing the joins and distortions through which they are made. Flesh, facial features and gendered signifiers shift between seduction, humour and discomfort, reflecting the ways bodies are performed, consumed and fetishised through images.
Rooted in my experience of navigating image-based spaces as a fat body, the work considers visibility as both intimate and exposing. The figures often occupy an ambiguous space between vulnerability and theatricality, appearing bodily and artificial at once.
Painting slows the speed of digital looking. Images that usually circulate quickly are translated into surfaces that require time, scale and physical encounter.
Through airbrushed gradients, hard edges, staged spaces and visible seams, the work holds the body in tension: constructed but bodily, exposed but withheld, unresolved and open to multiple readings.
