Brooke Driscoll
In creation, I am encompassed by an insatiable need to find the means by which I can express my repressed femininity. Soft palettes meet harsh landscapes to explore a violent, fractured relationship between outward expression and inward reflection.
Delicate ornamentation receives its reverence through precious metals and pearls. In altering feminine signifiers—bows, soft fabrics, pastel colors—material dissonance causes their expectations and classifications to alter. This perceptual manipulation acts as a mirror to my essence.
