When I use objects I see them as a vocabulary of feelings. My work explores intuitively my various stages of feminine awareness. Through the recycling and juxtaposition of various objects (forgotten, discarded and seemingly worthless), I am attempting a transformation towards a precious recollection. Resurrecting memories, collective yet intimate, visceral yet tender....piecing together beauty as if telling a story.
I am inviting the viewer to explore their childhood innocence and fantasies through their adult nostalgia and sensuality. I hope to create a romantic and playful portrait of the female identity with the possibility of entering dreams: my own or someone else's, as when a child plays dress up....full of the yearnings for beauty and mystery.
