I am constantly fascinated by the comparison made by men and their perceived 'trophies'.
You’re Too Good Looking to Be This Size is a musing about a statement that my doctor made to me while administering my yearly physical—with his mouth close to my ear.
The undulating, empty sack hung from basement piping is a visual representation of the mental and emotional process I go through when processing the flaws of my body.
Through the vehicle of voyeuristic desire, the artist creates glimpses into a basement world, where her secret activities as a sexual being are on full display. The viewer peers through a velvet window at a velvet woman (the artist) performing a self-gratifying activity involving sexualized self-portraiture. The basement, in this world, serves as an arena for experimentation and secret-holding that the artist requires for uninhibited expression.

Her eyes show most defiance in the large, unfuckable soft sculptures that begin to inhabit our space. The soft, pillowy self-portrait shown in gallery requires that we move around it. We can’t just put it away and forget it. It is a lumpy, undeniable fact that we must adjust to, not the other way around […] This is one strategy for her reclamation of agency- to use her sex appeal as the bait to her trap. Very much biting the hand that used to feed her.
Completely out of the blue in 2016, I received an email from a boy (man) I used to talk to in high school. He was 18 and I was 14. This piece is part of my response to that email.

A lament on the details of the body. An examination of the face in the basement - a vignette of my face, construed and strung on basement piping.
