In these pieces, the pinches, pulls, folds and various permutations in clay, plaster, and resin are organic abstractions that explore the pleasure and pain of the life-giving female body. These Engulfing Folds are evocative of the womb, blood gain and loss, the growth of a placenta, and the skin, an organ, being stretched and pulled and then collapsing back into itself. The body is seen as a vulnerable, imperfect state but one that is also strong, resilient, and incredibly transformative.
