My older work revealed themes involving the body, or my body, and perceptions of it. This past year has shown me that the personal issues are not limited to body only, but involve the whole of what it means to be a woman or a girl in American society, or what it has meant for me, and particular experiences, thoughts and feelings I have had. This work is just the tip of my awareness of my own feelings, and my comfort in having and expressing such feelings. The new works vary between extremely subtle and outright blatant. In a world where feminism is still largely perceived as a dirty word, I am not yet ready to set my most vulnerable side out in an obvious way. What you see here, then, is the less confrontational, softer, "more feminine" work.
