My work work explores the mystery and fear associated with the body’s inner processes, the feeling of being trapped in a decaying cage. I dissect my paper sculptures, sometimes violently cutting away at them. I burrow into the body, creating caverns and uncovering new spaces. The result can be harrowing, but at times comforting as well. In cutting through the layers of paper, I am given the opportunity to play both surgeon and architect, for once in complete control over what lies inside.
