description: 
A commentary on issues of consumption, I Don't Diet is an installation comprised of a series of paper bodies all made with or containing food. This piece made with kale signifies my attempt at the kale only diet that made me feel sick, not healthy. This other piece is the first I made, embedded with sprinkles as a reminder that every body is a celebration. This floor piece I made with brownies is inspired by the notion that every body has the right to rest,which in my case means sitting down with a brownie to binge watch some Netflix. The largest piece in the installation is full of embedded pills I've accumulated through the years. It references my past struggles with self-medication driven by negligent health care that failed to recognize various physical and mental health conditions. This strawberry vagina-like fragment makes reference to a comical conversation I had with my OBGYN in which she insisted I get weighed because the number on the scale was the only way to asses my overall vaginal, sexual and reproductive health; to which I replied, "if the only way she knows to examine a vagina is with a scale, I prefer a more qualified doctor." This last piece embedded with post-it notes from an anxiety map that covered my entire wall is a reminder that I can let go of the worry that I'm too emotional, too honest, or too big because every body has the right to take up as much space as it needs. These sculptures are accompanied by a subtle band of white vinyl words running throughout the installation. As you enter the space, the vinyl shifts in and out of visibility, each fleeting phrase an echo of the experiences each body personifies. These words reject cultural stigmas that indicate fat bodies are not worthy of food, rest and joy, criticize a medical system that reinforces a fatphobic mindset that endangers patients every day, and serve as a reminder that our bodies are meant to be nourished, loved and celebrated.
