Balancing a desire for transcendence with cultural critique through a feminist lens, my virtual worlds are inhabited by female avatars and floral geometry. Through 3D animation and VR, I create new visions for a woman’s place in the digital landscape. AKA not porn. Influenced by Claudia Hart’s “romantic rebellion against technocratic and bureaucratic culture” I am an enthusiastic participant in such inspired insurgencies.
Exploration (intellectual, emotional, and geographical) paired with close examination of the ties between sex, resource, and power generates the fuel behind my creative practice. My experience as both a woman in tech, and a solo world traveler has deepened my drive to create spaces in which women, nature, and sensuality coexist peacefully. Moving like breath, the slow swaying of flower structures hints at the advantage of healthy permeability vs. rigid borders. Expansion vs. entrapment. And how rigidity can be precursor to death.
It asks; What is weighing us down? What is on the other side? What would it feel like to live more in balance? How high could we scale as an evolved society?.
