“…My investigations inform new enquiries which develop my progression and understanding of the world around me. I enjoy the juxtaposition of various elements and concepts that compliment and contradict each other such as irreverence with sophistication and exorbitance with rebellion. This results in an equivocality that spans a range of discourse subject matters relating to gender, fashion, sociology, culture and history.”

Too close or not close enough?
Hold.”
