My analogue collages celebrate the feminine body in her remembrance of innocence, wilderness and sensuality as natural states of being.
By deconstructing pictures from fashion magazines, symbols of cultural objectification of women's bodies, I rewrite personal stories of societal conditioning.
At the core of my inquiry lies the question: who am I when I meet myself with radical earth-body wisdom?
