artist's statement

As a twin I grew up feeling a disparity between who I was in contrast to the societal expectations created by the media’s over-sexualized, stereotyped and iconic portrayals of the double.   Combined with a background in the fashion industry, I became interested in how we are conditioned to desire, identify with and be informed by the media.

Through self-replication, portrait paintings, sculpture and video that reference mythology, cultural fascination, art history and consumerism, my work is autobiographical and explores notions of mimicry, femininity, sexuality and mortality.
