ARTIST STATEMENT
I am interested in the ways history, myth and everyday experience build upon a culture, collective and individual identity. My practice is interdisciplinary, and is conceptually based on reflections within the Latinx diaspora, subject/objectivity and place. I use images, everyday objects, personal and broader histories, conversations, archives and experiences to seek a deeper understanding of these ideas that come together in an intuitive/informed based process. Sculpture, video, photography, drawing and a combination of such media are used as a means to re-present these themes.
My hope is that these works connect the personal to the collective while allowing the viewer to move beyond social imaginaries and constructions to explore the beautiful, comical, ugly, frightening and contradictory aspects of a Latinx identity.
