The Body Drawings

In this performance practice, I draw with every part of my body, from my wrists and elbows to my neck and shoulders, to explore my body's strength and range of motion.

 This process not only offers an energetic study of body and movement, but also generates ways of imprinting and memorializing my body in ephemeral moments.

The materials I use for each drawing add a complex personal and political dimension.

In these drawings, I use bleached flour, bringing questions of traditional homemaking and nourishment, as well as skin bleaching and undertones of violence, to my practice.
