Open Me, Close Me, 2015

My senior thesis project at Reed College. Explored ideas about our bodies and what we keep hidden, and the connection between our physical bodies, our mental selves, the intimate spaces we inhabit, and the ways we express those selves through bodily physicality and through language. A multipart installation composed of sound and found drawers installed within the gallery walls, filled with handmade artist's books and body casts made of wax and paper – delved into these questions through the lens of my own personal experience of my "self" in/as a body.
