Women-loving Women

“[These pieces of the collection] speak to the complexity of emotional experiences, and what I see as radical acts of self care – women loving each other and loving ourselves and our bodies carefully and fiercely.

...the woman in "In my Thoughts" is wrapped similarly in a vibrant red, she is also wrapped up in herself. Both pieces depict alone intimacy, self care, and at the same time pull us into a space of freedom. The collection flows between these alone and radical self care moments to women loving women with such openness and sweetness, disrupting and expanding notions of intimacy and being.”
