My imagery centers on the re-visioning of the human body in an age of increasingly visible and accessible biotechnology and cosmetic surgery practices. I explore ways in which these practices influence our perceptions of beauty, deformity and culturally accepted notions of physical normality. Working primarily with printmaking, sculpture, photography and video, I create an imaginary world of hybrids and mutants, intended to provoke inquiry about our potential future forms and how we perceive and imagine physical otherness.
