This series is about my relationship with my body image, and how it connects to the female experience. The work depicts not feeling at home within one’s body and the struggle of comparison to idealized bodies. My work is inspired by several artists including Jenny Saville and Solomon Kammer. The mirrors in my work are important, they are a reflection of how we see ourselves, but sometimes this is a distorted, warped reality. The mirror is essential to one’s experience with body image, as it is used to compare, analyze, and distort versions of ourselves. My use of embroidery symbolizes my attempt to repair my relationship with my own body. Tracy Emin has said that embroidery is a medium of personal life, and it is used to show how the personal is universal. This statement resonated with me, and I hope that women will be able to see themselves within my work, and know they are not alone with their own body image struggles.
