Artist Statement

Fleshy, hairy, macabre, muscular, and undeniably feminine- my feltwork explores the temporal nature of human existence and female identity. Grotesque, woolen anatomies root them in the physical reality of our shared human experience thereby making them accessible on an emotional and tactile level, as work of art and woolen cloth.
