Artist statement
Holes are everywhere. We are born from them and eaten by them, we begin as them and end buried in them. Holes exist within and without space, they contain nothing at the same time as they contain everything. They expand, contract, cycle and become desecrated. Since conception, Dom has been characterized by the holes she possesses and those she lacks. The duality persists in the filtering of her daily life. The artist’s practice serves as a gentle reminder of the founding principles of existence: the organic, mystical and emotional contents spilled out in the dissection and exploration of the world of (W)holes.
