ANATOMIES OF CONTROL

Anatomies of Control examines the female body as a site shaped by systems of regulation, discipline, and cultural expectation. Through abstracted torsos and containment-based forms, the series investigates how ideals of beauty, propriety, and restraint are materially inscribed onto the body. Employing bronze and mixed-media processes that emphasize compression, enclosure, and surface tension, the works foreground the body’s negotiation between autonomy and control, positioning sculpture as a means of articulating the physical and psychological architectures that shape embodied experience.
