This body of work specifically talks about beauty as both an individual and shared process for women. Clothing, jewelry and cosmetics are often used to transform, improve or cover the so-called flaws of the body. By definition, clothing is the covering of the body; jewelry is an adornment for the body; and cosmetics are a range of toiletries used to alter the surface of the body. These are external objects and practices which are used to consciously present the subject to a larger public. Women not only use them, but rely on them daily in order to perform and be comfortable. This work deals directly with the interaction of the tool of dress, i.e. clothing, jewelry and cosmetics, with ideas of beauty and the body. I want it to be difficult to categorize the work, but my overall intention is to raise questions as to the edges of those categories.
