Within my compositions, I utilize different printmaking techniques that incorporate materials that I have had to reform connections with during my journey through recovery for an eating disorder. These materials range from clothing, to food, to vintage magazines and diet books. Within my pieces, I explore techniques such as soft ground, blind embossments, and photo plates, which allow me to include these types of materials within my compositions. These processes help me infuse my work with physical ruminants of a difficult past. Through my work, I tackle the struggles and feelings that I, and many others face while battling or recovering from an eating disorder. The process of grieving a sick body is a lonely road, littered with stigma and taboo. Through my prints I would like to show others who may be struggling that they are not alone in their journey, no matter what part of it they’re at.
