This work dwells in performance of identity. Possibilities for self-creation are illustrated by vivid characters based on the artist's acquaintance and recognizable cultural constructions.Lurid or delicate, they invite the viewer to covet, presenting an alluring world that is also potent and seething. Beauty quivers with pain and flaw in distorted, luminous figures. Every detail suggests struggle, every gesture questioning.The figures stretch louche before the viewer, bravely offering themselves with conflicting, penetrating gazes.Unflinching yet vulnerable pastel heroines become the more unknowable, as they reveal themselves in their fractured splendor.
