The Last Time, We & Us

a wood engraving diptych that explores the difference of sex versus gender through abstraction. By focusing on fine, detailed lines across a large working space, the viewer is forced to step closer shifting from private to public space ultimately breaking down the in-between barrier to give room for discovery, exploration, and acceptance in regards to the self.
These works touch upon topics like assigned gender and gender identity; how the world sees them versus how they see themselves.

Through a deep exploration of the human anatomy, the bones, the muscles, limbs, organs, genitalia, the body is thus broken down and reconstructed until it becomes nearly unrecognizable; an object of biomorphic shapes, without beginning, without end. The subject is examined leaving one to question and challenge their initial belief of what is being visually witnessed.
