womb

My work journeys through the cracks of our human lives as sites to contemplate our knotted relationship between our bodies, technology and capitalism. I endeavor acts of physicalizing, reproducing, ritualizing and ghosting to ask questions such as “is the body necessary to be human?”, “will my watery being seep into others?”, “can i inhabit more than one shell?” 

womb is an interrogation into the performance of pregnancy, the abstraction of birth, and the role it plays socially and culturally. Throughout the workings of this piece, I am driven by the tensions between the externalities of a body swelling during the carry of another, and the internal construction of interwoven existences and fluid affinities. I ask my spectator to sit in the potential of permeable and undulating states of being, to consider what continues to evolve beneath what meets the eye.

womb is an ongoing multi-part installation work. The current iteration on view is a part-sculpture, part-video work shown as part of the UAR Artist Residency Exhibition at Uncool Gallery in Brooklyn NY. Previous iterations are shown below. Future developments of this work include live performance, video, ceramics, and sculptures that are currently in process.
