Artist statement, Invisible
My work deals with independence, individuality, loneliness and femininity. I have two different series that partially remove the subject from the frame, one is about memory and one absence. I was working on the series that deals with memory when my mother died very suddenly. I found myself shifting gears and moving into an alternate series, removing the subject with a different motivation: feeling absent from the world. The figures removed represent myself, unable to be present because of grief but also as a symbol of the work I've done that my mother will never see.
