These drawings show the threshold between a familiar and a foreign body, between self and other. Various things enter or appear in the body accidentally, deliberately, surgically, aesthetically, violently, pathologically… The work also opens up broader questions about othering, differentiation, and immigration.

This project is partially supported by an Individual Artists Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events and Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
