It deals with methods of identity construction in relation to physical bodies and personal histories. Identity can be conceptualized through various conflicting and potentially incompatible experiences. In exploring the tensions between a safe, familiar frame of reference and conflicting experiences of embodiment and fluctuating identity this body of work addresses the ephemeral quality of conceptions of the self. The show explores these concepts through a variety of media including video, drawing, textiles and sculpture.
