You Take My Breath Away (2014)

You Take My Breath Away incorporates found images, sound, video and clothes, to examine gender roles and hierarchal structures in patriarchal society.  I am inspired by Zen, Neuroscience, Ecofeminism and Arte Povera to explore human and animal consciousness and analogous behaviors and emotions: such as empathy, play, fear, joy and anxiety.   The work seeks to disrupt trophy hunting photographs and videos; and evoke the viewer’s sense of being sentient or what it means to feel that one is alive.
