Not My City

“This is Not My City” is a site specific installation where the artists plays the role of geographic and cultural outsider to historically segregated neighborhoods within Baltimore City and it’s surrounding suburbs. This fly by voyeuristic approach attempts, but inevitably fails to investigate the topographic history of federal and city level policies which systematically created present day Baltimore.

The Feminine Thing

These work is from my exhibition "the Feminine Thing" was influenced by the text "The Female Thing" by Laura Kipnis. In this text Kipnis discusses the “the female condition,” and various attributes that have influenced a wider definition of what is constitutes “femininity”

As an artist and designer, this text inspired me to take a look at the physical and aesthetic attributes of what Kipnis was outlining as “feminine.” I investigated these concepts from a perspective with looser definitions of what constitutes gender, how it is defined and how individuals can embody both feminine and masculine attributes to construct an identity that does not fit into a tidy definition of gender.
