Am I That Name? Feminism and the Category of Women in the Art Museum

Based in an intuitive, material studio practice, Espezel’s work inhabits a feminist-phenomenological discourse, utilizing an intentional engagement with the power and necessity of vulnerability. The work confronts the limits and conceptual dilemmas inherent within representation/mimesis, while striving for corporeal embodiment. The manifestation of anxieties (realized in both psychological and physiological states), empathy, otherness, and the “autobiographical” as a source of influence in interpretation and production, are current thematic concerns.
