Physical Form

While colour has always played an active role in my sculptural works, in these new works I aim to utilize color as a conceptual tool to explore how physical form, and particularly forms of gendered embodiment, are made and remade through perception. Untitled Paracord, Aluminum […]

Passing Fancies

From a cursory examination of any department store, it is clear that cotton dominates the production of clothing and home goods. At one time, however, linen played this role. In the popular imagination linen now has connotations with luxury, fragility, and delicacy, despite the strength […]
Taught Tight Tender Sway – SculptureCenter 2017

Taught Tight Tender Sway, commissioned for the SculptureCenter in New York, extends my engagement with hanging and suspended abstract bodily forms characteristic of works such as Rangers, Mascots, and Hung, and scales these forms up to the level of architecture and environment. In response to […]
Hung

This piece took many years to complete. Hung is a limp and bulky phallus wound in a protective cocoon of orange paracord that humorously comments on the idea of being “well hung.” At the same time, the sculpture references both Louise Bourgeois’ Fillette (Sweeter Version) […]
Mascots

The overlapping multi-colored knots that construct Mascots I and II form a series of amorphous, indeterminate orifice-body assemblages. Mascot 1 2016 Mascot 2 2016
Rangers

This series consists of individual welded and power-coated frames with netted paracord that are assembled together into a large-scale modular installation to create a wall of leaning “bodies.” Suspended between the organic and the artificial, these works draw on plant morphologies to explore ideas of […]
Beads

Engaging more directly with the absurdity of sexual prosthetics, the testicular-like forms in this work are left, quite literally, hanging in the absence of a phallus to support. Beads. detail Paracord, blown glass balls, metal 2015 Pink. 2014 Orange. 2014 Orange. detail 2014 Orange. 2014
Pensile Arrangements

Much of my work explores the sexual prosthetics of queer, and particularly lesbian, sexuality and the malleability of phallic and labial forms. Constructed from paracord – a strong nylon rope popular within the military and the BDSM community – embellished with cock rings and beads, […]
Soft Ball

I made Soft Ball during a moment when many of my peers were having top surgery, while others were diagnosed with breast cancer in order to reflect upon the breast as a detachable appendage that is liberating for some and painful for others. This work […]
