Your Slip is Showing
Through beauty, humor, and suspended gesture, Your Slip is Showing considers what is hidden, what is exposed, and what women are asked to carry silently.
Begun in 2016, the photographic project emerged from a dark childhood memory. Nighttime. Listening to my parents arguing. Hearing my mother fall. Her arm broken. The story I was given was that she had simply tripped on her slip. There was nothing simple about this explanation. Variations of it echo everywhere.
Working across photography and experimental film, I return repeatedly to recurring motifs of slips, fabric, sea, and sky. Within the work, the fabrics themselves become psychological, theatrical, and symbolic forms that move between personal memory and collective mythology. Beauty and story coexist here — and sometimes collide.
