My Pleasure (Forever Yours), May 2018
Visual Arts Building, University of Iowa
My Pleasure (Forever Yours) draws from personal memories to construct a narrative about the body as a source of fantasy, transformation, and limitation through paintings and ceramic sculptures. Referencing specific film stills from mainstream cinema in the paintings, the work explores between how the female body is seen, represented, how it is felt, lived in and embodied. Issues of inside and outside, as well as illusion and reality are addressed in order to investigate notions of pleasure and exchange.
