Meticulously drawn large canvas surfaces give rise to a visual vocabulary of imagery stemming from an exploration of a ‘self’ that is neither fixed nor stable, but celebrates multiplicity and hybridity between notions of the body proper, and the body as environment/landscape. Taking influence from various sources such as childhood games and Filipino folk-tales of witch/vampire characters called Asuangs, the inevitable task of decay and decomposition in and associated with nature, geological processes of erosion, striation and crystal formations, in conjunction with the idea of making and the woven – come together to both map and simultaneously dissect a body reconfigured and monstrofied.
