Like a body burnished and weathered by time and experience, this piece conceals and reveals. Reflecting the shifting facets of identity - how we position ourselves in response to vulnerability, strength, and circumstance, this sculptural form is designed to be viewed in multiple orientations.

ORIENTATIONS OF SELFHOOD series. We adjust how we position ourselves to face the world, dependant on situation, our life experiences and how strong/vulnerable we feel or need to appear. The different orientations of these sculptures, akin to the multifaceted aspects of a person. There are spaces and scars and additions and contortions, and relaxations. There are gaps and omissions and secrets and revelations and more. There are symbols of mountains, land, clouds, community, breath, wind, and time. Using gesture and symbols and materiality and reflectivity; letting my body make the shapes. #sensuouspractice
