Artist Statement
<p style="font-weight: 400;">My work is multidisciplinary, installation-based, and performative, exploring notions of the domestic and the urban through the intimate (or public) matters of living together; personal care and household maintenance; wellness and well-being; and the effects of globalization and technological development upon living space. Propelled by narrative, installations probe issues of social discomfort and our cultural obsession with cleanliness; the methods through which society sanitizes women; our desire for quick-fix methods of self-help and self-care; and the increasing invisibility of technological infrastructure in the urban and domestic landscape.<br /><br />I have recently been the societal tendency to position the figure of the Child as representative of “the future” – a reliance on reproductive futurism - and the problems of this representation for those who choose not to reproduce or cannot reproduce. I’m interested in positioning issues of social reproduction alongside those of biological reproduction and exploring the notion of reproductive futurity alongside the neoliberal characteristic of cleanliness as generating a forward-facing pathway. I’m interested in deconstructing notions of “the future” and asking questions about ideas of care in relation to reproductive futurity and the drive for technological “innovation”.</p>

Artist Statement
ILThere might be magic. Like death, magic is hopeful and scary. A skull grows crystals and a prosthetic bruises. A small foot kicks and slides across the inside of a belly making a wave in the flesh. Sheep’s horns will often grow back into their skull. The body senses and interprets information beyond what the mind is conscious of. The body operates beyond our will and is affected internally by what happens externally and vice versa. As a result there is a lack of physical control over our own bodies. The most recent artworks are influenced by the idea of creating artifacts and documentation of the body and medical treatments in a time unknown. Like speculative fiction, but grounded in real history and the Anthropocene, the works re-imagine our physical and psychological relationship to the body. Using watercolor paintings, animations and sculptures the work depicts the body in metamorphic and sometimes magical states of growth and decay. They explore the familiar and the unknown of embodiment to reveal primal desires, instincts, and fears. The works appear frozen in a moment of metamorphosis, between states of sensuality, life, health and consciousness. Our bodies and psychology are presented as unknowable, yet inescapable, forces in our lives.

Artist Statement
I use textile materials and techniques, and most recently also sound, to explore experiences, as well as to make artworks that aim to become the vehicle to create new ones. My most recent project, New Universe: Discovering Other Possibilities, was born from my interest to explore the learning processes that occur between a mother and her child. What and how we learn, when do we learn, where do we learn, and from whom do we learn are some of the ideas that I have been investigating through and for this project. New Universe presents a group of works that take as their starting point moments and experiences within the family and in particular through the child-mother relationship. From these experiences, my creations explore ideas related to discovery, invention and the unknown. Thus, there are pieces born from daily activities such as playing, time spent with family and care labor, as well as those born from conversations with other parents and research. In its entirety the project included and exhibition, a workshop and several activities during a three month period at the Textile Museum and Documentation Centre in Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain. This project is still growing.
From Between My Legs, 2019, Textile based art piece.
STATEMENT:
From Between My Legs is a work born from the experience and exploration of motherhood through the interactions of the bodies of mother and daughter. Thus, this work, framed in relation to the natural world, refers to the acquired independence of the daughter's body, to the consciously feminist mothering practice and to the sexual pleasure of the body of the mother, events all of them that have the literal or metaphorically starting point in the place between the legs of the mother.
From between my legs
a new combative and vindicating being is born
that has made me rethink my limits
and the limits of what surrounds me.
From between my legs
is born the strength to understand
the world beyond binary conceptions.
From between my legs
an invigorating pleasure is born
and it makes me feel powerful.
Seeds For Resistance, 2017- ongoing, multidisciplinary (actions, works on paper, textile works)
STATEMENT:
Multidisciplinary project that stems from the conversations I have been having with my daughter. They are conversations about favorite colors, our bodies, super-(s)heros, comic books, feminism(s), illness, politics, sexuality, clothing, economics, racism, migration, fanzines, ecology, music, death, language and many other things. In progress.
