Arising from the context of dancing for fun, my artwork explores the experiential beauty of releasing energy. This can be accompanied by a sense of felt liberation. I engage with both these interconnected forms of release in my practice.
There is a playful, messy beauty to this release. I celebrate this within my work through the motif of sweat. Sweat is a visual indicator of energy expelled.
By customising second-hand garments with rhinestoned sweat formations, I capture the beauty of the sweaty release dancing brings.
