2020 — ongoing

Partum is an ongoing process of returning to the birthing experience and perinatal moments.

The work engages with the erasure of self, dynamics between perceived authority and bodily autonomy, access to information and understanding of one’s own body; in a nutshell, obstetrical violence and its repercussions.

PTSD created gaps: moments lost, blurred, or distorted. It also made me revisit other ones ad infinitum. I work to stitch these experiences together in bits and pieces, through images and video that hold both the seen and the forgotten, the tangible and the absent.

The New Brunswick Arts Board generously supported this work.
