Artist Statement:  Influenced by navigating life from within a large body, these works illustrate nonconventional forms of the figure. It is a study of the intersectionality between one’s physical body and perception of self amidst systems of discrimination (fat, sizeist, racial) prevalent in our zeitgeist. The pieces are of mixed media and show multiple mark making techniques as an experimentation to unapologetically represent large bodies simply. This is the everyday form human life takes on, void of sensationalism or grotesque representation.
