Point of Entry is a catalog of scars collected from personal interactions between the artist and her family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers. Each oil painting is on a fragment of shattered mirror with a carved line defining the incision of the scar, allowing the viewer to see themselves reflected within the scar.
A scar is a visible story left behind by experience. Each story here is evidence of the subject revealing an intimate detail about themselves; whether the scar was inflicted by an accident or on purpose, by injury or by surgery, by mere scrape or by significant trauma, each piece of this mosaic invites the viewer to engage in the empathetic exchange of glimpsing into a life not their own and seeing a part of themselves reflected back.
