The ubiquitous cardboard box is a found object that I have used often while investigating basic objects, with added figurative elements, that evoke female and/or male and explore the relationship between gender. In this work, however, the internal and external, the unspoken and the articulate, the provocative and the familiar weave a largely feminine impression. The process of printmaking allows me to draw out ideas, pushing boundaries between the disciplines of print and paint, and here print within sculptural installation.
