The vintage "biological clock" is from the year the artist was born, as all the eggs a woman has are present at birth. She wears a bandolier loaded with syringes as a strap for her "purse." She is fighting the biological clock through medicalized reproduction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b433554369484491234c46/59a4816b-e606-4b02-9ab7-d170e869b0d6/IMG_4927-2.jpeg WORKS SuperOvulation, 2026. Her lingerie top is sewn from a hospital gown to highlight the awkward blending of intimacy with the medicalization of baby-making. Her gum ball machine contains chewed "gum," as the many eggs she will produce are old and useless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b433554369484491234c46/79402cf0-0d2b-47b7-89f7-f107b4d5e794/IMG_4868.jpeg WORKS At Any Cost, 2026. Piñata and bat. A transparent mannequin contains used toy vending capsules holding tiny colorful babies. The bat is découpaged with (faux) $1000 bills. The piñata game represents joyful anticipation. This work points to the dreams we carry from childhood into adulthood, and the literal monetary cost plus physical and emotional battering of assisted reproduction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b433554369484491234c46/3fffbe8e-d774-48e6-b034-654491d63019/IMG_4899.jpeg WORKS Miss Courage, 2026. This work is a personification of multiple miscarriages. The battered vintage mannequin has a used gum ball machine as her womb. It holds red gum balls and a tiny floating baby. Her hand-made bead maze carries away (clay) beads and tiny babies in toy vending capsules. Her head piece shows what's on her mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b433554369484491234c46/7267293a-b203-4de0-aa24-f6a98db90e2d/IMG_4848-3.jpg WORKS Anonymous Egg Donor, 2026. This mannequin's vintage gum ball machine holds large pearly white gum balls (eggs). Her angel wings speak to altruism, though they are découpaged with $1000 bills with faces of young girls. Often prospective parents do not see adult photos of donors to protect anonymity. They scroll through hundreds of baby faces. For some reason, it feels important to know if the donor does it out of altruism or for the money, or perhaps both. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b433554369484491234c46/ec219b0a-c573-4342-919d-b276e65c9f90/IMG_5147.jpeg WORKS My Water Broke/My Autonomy Broke, 2026. Once a woman's water breaks, she may be put on a countdown before labor is induced medically. This step often leads to an emergency C-section. The vintage toy vending claw pulls the baby out of the womb. The blue mirror beneath reveals a tiny sign between her legs, "WRONG WAY." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b433554369484491234c46/1773488112773-XBV3LYWFAYY538O9BI6X/IMG_5152.jpg WORKS PostpartumAnxiety, 2026. This vintage mannequin is caged in by the heavy wires of vintage bead mazes. They pierce her arms, legs, and torso. Her gum ball machine contains the artist's empty prescription bottles.
