The Index (Body), 2018-2020

The Index is an installation of sculpture and printmaking that metaphorically reflects on the possibility of a queer body/figure by investigating new possibilities and different realities. Through a monoprint stencil technique, I reimagine the body by conceptualizing it in parts, using an index of abstract, fragmented shapes. For example, the shape that suggests a leg or mouth may also describe a finger or nipple. The ambiguous shapes gain meaning through contextual placement, asking what part of the body is being viewed and what is its function. Working with this index allows me to distort, collapse, and queer the figure and its parts.
