Wit(h)nessing Eyes Close(d)
Trance is the
genesis of the artworkings in this series. Drawing from historical images of
myself, collected from photo shoots over the past fifteen years, the practice
of re-wit(h)nessing and re/producing images of my trans/per/forming woman(s)
body through time and space is filtered and enlivened through the
before/beside/beyond sensorial aesthetic journey of the trance.
In the unbound large hanging canvases the female body is traditionally drawn and represented, with/in/on a disrupted enviro/scape. The co-emerging of the figure and ground causes the viewer to liberate attempts to restore the body to singular completeness and to fully see it in co-relationship, distinct yet a/part of the matrixial ground.
