Spring Semester 2020 MFA-BLR 1st year

My work is directed in the 4th wave of American feminism examining how the female figure is represented in mass media and advertisements. In all of my works, I use images of the female figure from typing “woman” into google. I use the bodies from these images to confront the objectification of a woman’s body in mass media and to reclaim and empower their identities, worth, and sexuality.
The patterns formed by the web of bodies I weave together create their own “Songlines,” ancient symbols translated from mother nature’s patterns in tree bark and dirt into the human hand, then carved back into the trees and dirt to tell the stories of time, travel, maps, dreams, and ancestry.
