"My work is based on the idea of embracing femininity in an over-the-top manner. All too often, objects and ideas that are associated with young women are thought of as silly and shallow, but I want to embrace these things (such as the color pink, sparkle/shine, flowers, decorative objects like frames) wholeheartedly. Growing up as a dancer, I have always felt a strong connection to performance and much of the artificiality that comes with it. I love embracing artificial, seemingly plastic or shallow objects and presenting them with care but also a sense of self awareness. This series is inspired by materiality and beauty with a touch of early 2000's aesthetic." -Brooke Jones
