Artist Statement:
My work looks at the worker, mainly the female worker, and her alienation from her work. Self-portraits by-proxy, these images show working women trapped by their physical bodies in places and jobs that seem empty and route. Some of the work shows these women soldiering on through their daily grind despite madness erupting around them, others simply pushing onward through the drudgery. Using the female form, and in particular a retro 50s-70s female form, as a trope for wanting to break free from society's imposed rules, further elucidates the sense of disaffection felt by the subjects in this work.
