Who has control over our bodies? These two sculptural assemblages reference themes of autonomy, or more fittingly, lack thereof. Both pieces intend to provoke, rather than attempt to offer solutions. In my three-dimensional work, I continue to use worthless discards and urban artifacts in my visual vocabulary. While Untenable offers multiple interpretations, most of which suggest situations which confine rather than support, Miscarriage of Justice speaks to ‘women’s work’, exploitation, oppression, abuse, and the shocking brutality which pervades our world.
