Khara Oxier-Mori
(b. 1979)
Bachelor of Arts, Anthropology, BSU (2005-2016)
United States Marine Corps (2001-2005)
Khara is an artist concentrating on the body, and the exploration of fear, violence, systems, survival, power, death and liberation, often in relation to cycles and transitions.
Her personal and intimate experiences strongly influence her fascination with bodily and psychological perseverance and various aspects of the struggle of defiance and compliance. Her depictions of the human body correlate with her background in anthropology and self-experimentation, exploring change in response to a wide variety of stressors, both internal and external.
Khara's interests include epigenetics, paleoethnobotany, biopower, ancient art, gardening, and livestock husbandry.
