I am a recent graduate from Allegheny College and have been working in Pittsburgh for the past year. I focus on utilizing simple photographic techniques and digital scanning processes to manipulate my body into surrealistic forms, reflecting the perceptionof women's bodies as an idea to be witnessed and controlled. My most recent series of nude and semi-nude self portraits have been digitally altered to make my body something inhuman and sexually provocative. My goal is to cultivate the body into the uncanny, magnifying the viewer’s desires of the flesh to uncomfortable limits.
