Women in Horror

Artist's Statement
What can pop culture tell us about ourselves?

Women in horror ask many questions but get few answers. Finding some measure of relatable trials in each character, this is an exhibition rooted in vulnerability. It is a study of rehabilitation, recognition, and self awareness. It is an examination of being female and the subsequent cultural grooming. It is an exploration of limits, failures, and victories. It is a study of pain.

Do you reject or share this pain?

If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done?

I was raised Catholic, so I have a tremendous guilt complex. It wouldn't be anything crazy, maybe some kind of theft?

What do you think about when you’re alone in your car?

I think about the music that's playing, and I often create complex scenarios, or "music videos" in my head to the music. Or I think about images I want to see or create.
