I use the art process as an outlet to express my struggle with a spinal condition which I have dealt with for the past ten years. I am an active swimmer and connected with it as a means to manage my back pain and keep up my level of fitness.

Despite finding strength both physically and mentally in the pool, I still struggle with the conflict between mind and body.

Through screen-print my imagery consists of X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, alongside my own documentation of the swimming pool environment.

The ghostly nature of the x-rays reflect the invisibility of my condition. These scans tell us not the superficial, but what is inside the body hidden beneath the surface. The lightbox explores alternative and poetic ways of using medical imaging while maintaining the clinical aesthetic of the scans.
