Reclamation of the Body
A kinetic exploration of self-agency through mark making within a painting and drawing practice.
Reclamation of the Body is a project that seeks to give voice to the language and experience of the body through painting, asemic writing and drawing. Experimenting with sculpting, mark making and working on large-scale surfaces whose form is continuously changing and evolving will act as a metaphor for autonomy and freedom of expression to move. The physical experience of the body within space and the expansiveness of materials work together to give the artist the tools to process trauma through the act of making.
