Existing within a constant state of confusion and indeterminacy, my life and art practice evolve together, as a union, inseparable. My research into myself has proven, at times, to be a boundless inspiration for my work, and is used to further my ideas for how I want to, or how I feel I have to, live. This is represented through an assemblage of performance and objects, working together, to construct a world in which I feel that I am represented, and in control of. The work attempts to deconstruct the very notion of a binary world; to be without labels, completely neutral, existing purely on its own. My body is that in which my work revolves around. The presence of, or absence of, my physical being; my movements, my thoughts, my identities, my ideas: all coexist within the work. I believe in showing an invisibleness, in representing the unrepresentable, in thinking about memories and the future, in what is hidden, and what is forgotten. With the work, I aim to create a space where one can experience an emptiness, a silence, a place to reflect, or touch something that has been ignored. My practice is concerned with ideas, with an absence, with a fight for existence; creating a tension with normalcy, and challenging one’s complacency.
