Continuing her work with mixed media she will feature prints and canvases focusing on the “Jane Series” and the “Paper Women Project”. Through mixed media, she presents a reading of the sliding scale of mass media’s depiction of women (the feminine) and the real-life experiences of how girls and women are asked to perform in their daily lives. The key to the final image is to counter the traditional, stereotypical feminine image into a nonconforming state of reality. Condensing the perspective of her daily consumption of visual culture into a flat two-dimensional image allows the viewer to sit with and contemplate, what one object has to do with the other. She gathers images and text literally from scraps and pieces she finds in the real and virtual worlds. She looks through discarded magazines, newspapers, photographs, and other objects to build a message, a memory, and a meaning from her own lived narrative.
