About…

To be able to recognize a part of the self in an act of craft means that it has fulfilled its most important function: to confront love, longing, and distance. That is the most anyone can ask for.

I find myself shifting identities to adapt to new cultural contexts. My practice has always been rooted in the visualization of making processes.  my aim is to create spaces that reveal what has been hidden in-between the fissures and fragments of established Latin-American sociocultural cannon. Craft positions itself as a dialectical language of translation that confronts cultural diaspora through images that are ubiquitous with Latin culture. When distanced, they become archival artefacts that are unrecognizable even to that of which is meant to be an inhabited and recognizable sense of identity.

 As a form of narrative structure, craft/makings role in my practice is embodied as metaphor of difference. Entangled between realities and fictions, embedded deep into each works surface is the sensitivity towards new definitions of identity that inhabit dichotomies comfortably.
