Portfolio > 2011, Adoration, Emulation, Transformation

My recent work addresses the inherent power of media representation and our emulation of these commercial icons. In these pattern paintings, appropriated contours of fashion models resonates with their proliferation and influence in shaping expectations of women. I multiply and transform their hyped contours as attractive yet bizarre abstractions-metaphors of the desire they perpetuate in the construction of self.
