Skin, Stone & Other Creatures is a series of work with a particular interest in multi-cultural, multi-national, multi-sexual and multi-species blends and mixes.
Through textiles, mixed media, and sculptural forms, the work delves into the physical and emotional textures of these speculative bodies. These beings are at once familiar and alien, tender and unsettling. Their presence invites reflection on transformation, discomfort, coexistence, and the unknown.
At its core, Skin, Stone & Other Creatures is a celebration of fluid identities and the generative power of difference, an artistic inquiry into what it means to be a creature shaped by contradiction, contact, and complexity.
