ARTIST STATEMENT
Fill Me Up is a mixed-media installation work that reflects upon issues of gender and sexuality in the context of a consumer society. It considers women’s bodies, specifically their functionality in the world, and their definition as functional objects and objects of fertility. The work consists of a set of handmade bowls, filled with abaca casts of my nipples. The casts fill the containers like so much grain or coins. They are a product that can be re-produced, counted and parceled. They can be arranged or displayed differently according to the each individual’s imagination. Each piece is individual and unique yet multiple and replaceable, they evoke women’s bodies as commodity and as a currency of desire. |
