"Drawing on feminist and historical ideology, I am interested in the construction of the female identity in the context of the fallen woman. Through evocative architectural and interior spaces, dramatic still life tableaux and representations of the female figure itself, I examine these ideas visually. Surface quality, texture and detail operate as metaphors and glimpse a personal parallel of the relationships between women and the societies they inhabit.

Marks, cracks and other traces of inhabitance and the "past" all suggest an absent presence. These traces accumulated over time form a 'memory' within the space. During the Baroque period, the church played a dominant role in the social construction of female sexuality. Primarily, women were either married or sent to convents. Baroque architecture evident in the convents of the time provide metaphors for the notion of spiritual and physical chastity. Purity and self sacrifice, grilles and archways, I am interested to explore these architectural details as metaphors for the seen and the unseen, the public and the private, the church and the individual.
