Before Her Time
Analog Collage 2016
Mixed media 16 ¼ in. H x 14 ¼ in. W
Period Piece is a visual exploration of feminine power, erotic tension, and the historical staging of the female body. Drawing from the aesthetic language of portraiture and costume, the series channels periods of so-called modesty to explore how beauty, stillness, and fabric become agents of control rather than submission.
The figures appear composed, adorned, and contemplative, yet every detail carries an undercurrent of withheld force. This is not passivity. It is power withheld, pleasure staged, desire unspoken but present in every fold, gaze, and ornamental flourish.
Rather than offering the body, these works ask the viewer to sit with the performance of longing, the containment of sensuality, the psychological pressure of appearance. There is always something held back. That tension becomes the transmission.
