Miss Solitude (2016-2017)
Objects have long played an important role in my work, but until recently, their arrangement has always resulted in a photographed image. Miss Solitude marks a decisive shift in my practice, as for the first time the work comprises entirely of found photographs, assemblages and installations. Through manipulations of vintage prints, embellished household objects, hair, and textiles, I investigate the photograph's role as assistive device in both the fabrication and disavowal of femininity, beauty, memory, and desire.
