The Quickening My work explores the ennoblement of women. I assert the female in a position of power by stamping my body onto a picture plane. My pieces often reference notable works in art history circulating around female representation. These references should highlight the extensive history in which women were exhibited as incapable or weak objects.This injustice as my backdrop, my work explores the pertinent delegation of femininity. The heterogeneous complexity of women demands a delicate balance of distinct and often polarizing characteristics. Evolving from critique to embodiment and then to cultural reassignment, I am curious about how the female nude exists within a spiritual landscape. These women invite candid conversation about religion, sexuality, vulnerability and strength.
