Standing Wave
Installation, Sculpture, Video (2018)
Standing wave is a sympathetic light upon the beastly
apparitions of femininity that have appeared throughout history in numerous
cultures, from the siren to the sphynx. These symbols of aggressive and
all-consuming female sexuality are symptomatic manifestations of fear directed
towards the non-passive feminine. This work blends iconography and sculpture
with digital methods of making to create a character that is both old and new
in its embodiments. Transgressive qualities are equalled by dangerous potential
in this exploration of she-beast.
