description:

A vanity mirror sits on top of an ornate table made of metal and fabric. A form with wings and an orifice opens up on top of the mirror. Its interior, a mixture of decorative pattern, bones and an insect-like body, is reflected in the mirror.

statement:

This body has shifting and disrupted borders. Built of fragments, the insides move outward. It invents itself as it both absorbs and imitates its surroundings. These forms embody transformation and transition. They occupy a space of instability where other worlds intercept our own and rules have been suspended. I hope to find a point of ambiguity and contradiction that, if only for a moment, disturbs and rearranges the order around us.
