Deconstructed
Emotional Abstraction
Emotional Abstraction
Deconstructed is about what we carry beneath the surface.
Working primarily with sourced female figures, at times layered with my own imagery, I use digital tools to create works that fragment at close range and resolve at a distance - documentation and abstraction determined by where you stand.
The work explores how emotion and meaning survive when images are removed from their original circumstances and reinterpreted into abstract forms. As figures become pattern and gesture becomes abstraction, something essential remains: a presence that cannot be fully reduced or erased.
By working with sourced rather than specific figures, I create space for women’s experience and the persistence of female presence. The goal is not realism, but resonance.
