In my work I revel in the complexities and contradictions of visual pleasure. The beautiful images of flawless women that saturate our visual culture strike me as both alluring and problematic and I strive to carve out a space where these contradictions can coexist explicitly. Through the process of constructing and deconstructing photographs I work towards complicating ideals of female beauty and disrupting traditional ways of seeing. Through layering illusions and visual references, I find myself continuously at play with the inherent trickery of photography.
