frizzyburs emerged from a series of works centered on underwear, or unterhosen, as objects of protection, privacy, and intimacy. Underclothes sit close to the body, creating a boundary between the self and the outside world. They are both ordinary and deeply personal, revealing something about what we conceal, how we protect ourselves, and with whom we choose to share vulnerability. The series also developed as a formal investigation of photography, color, repetition, and digital collage. Cropped forms, layered images, and shifting color relationships transform familiar garments into abstract compositions. Humor and awkwardness remain present throughout, allowing the work to move between bodily association and visual experimentation.
