The consciousness of the body

My work is all about the body. Being both artist and model allows me to work from the inside out – to convey the feeling of inhabiting inner space, and the ways that personal identity and even consciousness are rooted in physical experience. I use drawing to convey the body’s visceral physicality, its inherent beauty, uniqueness, and visual complexity, and its connection to the processes and patterns of nature. The interaction of flesh and bone intrigues me – and even bone is alive, dynamic and juicy in its way.

My drawings are intimate and sensual but at the same time strongly grounded in science – in an understanding of anatomy and physiology and specifically in medical images of my own body made for the purpose of art.
