Stepping in to the Spotlight
The process of making is the starting point for my work, in which space and point of view have been longstanding concerns as has the (female) body. In my early short films and photographs I explored the relation between the body and domestic space. I worked with photomontage in You Be Mother, Milk, and Glass, […]
Layers of Dysfunction
My sculptures and inlaid wooden panels take viewers on a journey through the psychological landscape of the domestic interior, where the very walls and floors are charged with desire, while humdrum objects quietly smoulder in the heat of sublimated emotion.

Standing the Test of Time
My soul is a canvas stretched across four wooden corners and tacked with copper nails that sink into the edges of timber like teeth. My art is nothing less than my salvation. It is the way I confront the weight of my losses. My easel is my altar, my creations, unanswered prayers that hang in […]
A Matter of Balance
The difficult game of balance always implies an interaction between two opposing elements. There is balance when two subjects accept and permeate each other, when they have the same weight. The German word “gleichgewicht” is exemplar. It includes two words: “gleich” means “same” and “gewicht” means “weight.” In the case of balance, stability is assured […]
