Statement
My art involves many different interpretations and
expressions of the human form. Our bodies are machines. Just as a
robot is filled with tiny wires, we are filled with tiny blood vessels.
Today, machines and technology are intertwined with nature in many ways.
The people in my art are from the age of industrialism. They work in
factories. Their soft skin and beautiful faces and cheerful dispositions are
transformed by the stark reality and continuous drone of the machine.
The machine is also a metaphor for the continuous daily grind of life that
is repeated day after day. The machines also bring up issues of control.
What controls us as humans? Are we programmed from childhood to think and
act a certain way? Or do we have more control over who we become in life? In
my art, it is not always easy to tell if the woman is controlling the
machine or if the machine is controlling her.
