Artist Statement
With the works in this exhibition, I’m interrogating the ways in which intimacy and barriers intersect. Using barricades both literally and metaphorically, I ask viewers to think on what is a barricade and what is intimate in their lives–––how do we navigate and negotiate public and private spaces?
