Hello My Name Is explores identity and ownership of self. As an artist who identifies as living with invisible disability, as well as holding the role of primary parent to two children I have gone through many moments of questioning who I am, and who my body and identity belongs to. Presenting my body in what is perceived as nude calls attention to the sexualization of mothering while negating the vulnerability of birthing, being nude in a room of people one has barely met. Hello My Name Is touches on the impact of childhood experiences, let down as both a physical response to body feeding and self-perception and references the "Good Enough" mother coined by Donald Winnicott as it pertains to societies expectations that parents with disabilities (visible or invisible) can't possibly be good enough parents. 

This series introduces in my work a play with a red lip as a replacement for the red clown nose, an invitation to take the role of the fool or truth teller - previously a role held only by men in court, often disabled themselves. Future series are continuing to work with the fool as an identity in child raising and societal mirror.
