Artist Statement

I am ambiguous and in ambiguity I am able to change my body according to where I am and what I need to be. I am transparent and I am unable to shift how other’s perceive me but I try and shift how you think anyway.  

I look at an excess of images and contort myself, huffing and puffing while I film myself on my tiny iPhone screen to look like them, but I also look back. I have taken back control but I am also powerless. I want to look        d e s i r a b l e      but I also want to reject it.  

 Am I sexualising myself or are you just sexualising me? 

Shifting from the multiple bodies that I am and the singular body that I am, I become all of these contradictory selves at once and simultaneously none of them.

I am falling into myself. I am always two opposing selves. I am disorientated and soon you will be too …

I am at once static and falling, I am at once resting and overthinking, I am at once lying and standing, I am at once lying and being honest, I am at once playing and serious, I am at once open and closed, I am at once different and passing, I am at once scrutinising and neglecting, I am at once a perfectionist and careless, I am at once insecure and confident, I am at once modest and vain, I am at once desirable and repulsive

I am constantly comfortable and uncomfortable and find that both uncomfortable and comfortable. 

I am looking at you, looking at me, looking at you, looking at me, looking at you, looking at me, looking at you, looking at you, looking at me, looking at you, looking at me, looking at  y o u 

I disappear into nothingness and something, I belong to the void and space

Belonging to no time and place I must make one for myself and continue in contradiction …

I am at once embracing and destroying my contradictory selves in the liminal

I am also doing neither; I am also l y i n g   i n – b e t w e e n
