Performance 2022
I made a performance piece called That Dress in 2022.
I find myself often thinking about what it is to be a woman and how I feel about this.
I often look in the mirror, in the morning, when I go to the bathroom, when I get dressed, through the day, at night, always seeing my reflection staring back at me. I look at my face, see how I am ageing, how I’m putting on weight and looking older.
I get dressed every day and check myself in the mirror.

In sorting through my wardrobe I came across evening wear that I no longer have occasion to wear.
I decided to focus on the evening dress I no longer wear and my everyday wear, who I was, who I am?

It is inspired by thoughts I have about who I am, growing older, missing certain things in my life. It is about the past, the present and also the future…
