My practice engages themes of assumption, expectation, seduction, and the abject body. I investigate my relationship to my body and its implications in the world through material exploration and abnormal forms. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was four years old. By working with homemade hard candy, and spent medical supplies, in combination with plaster, acrylic paint and resin, I challenge expectations as I create bizarre and seductive artworks.

The sculptures are comprised of molds, made by casting my used Autosoft 90 Infusion Sets which insert a cannula in my body where the insulin I administer enters. Repeating shapes pile upon each other highlighting the sheer amount of these items I have used in my life. My art practice attempts to parse out the realities of living with this autoimmune disease in whichever media necessary.

Because my practice is so rooted in my body and how I exist, it relates directly to the theme of "Figure," physically and emotionally.
