In a world where women’s bodies are under constant surveillance, my work investigates time and the ways surveillance plays an unprecedented and often ignored role in our daily lives. Places like stores, parking lots, schools and even our own homes become places of close observation. The scenes I create are visual narratives that reveal and define my sex, age, time and space through active surveillance. In Lucy Lippard’s book, From the Center “When women use their own bodies in their artwork, they are using their selves... a significant psychological factor converts these bodies or faces from object to subject.” Historically, women have been more subjected to or rather forced into spatial confinement than men. By placing myself as both the subject and object in these environments, I reveal my awareness of the situations and environments I place myself in, no matter how boring or mundane they may seem.
