My work reinterprets garments and tools that women have utilized to protect and adapt their bodies while striving to succeed and compete within a patriarchal, capitalist society. I am most engaged with the tension between my own rejection of and simultaneous attraction to the material and form that these gendered garments and objects have assumed throughout history.
