Statement
My practice is rooted in drawing using various implements, including scissors, a ballpoint pen, or burning surfaces with a stylus. I’ve been drawing using a variety of different supports as a material investigation. My drawings are like cutouts to be associated with others to build a vast array of compositions. Much like a geologist, I work in layers. Disparate pieces come together once they are stitched, glued, and overlapping the edges. Divorced fragments now touch each other, generating energy or a new life. They peeled away to reveal unique formations and narratives. A flat surface can grow in dimensions until it becomes sculptural. From a close look to a distant one, I explore oneiric visions of florae and evoke the idea of a scientific and artistic vision of a natural world. Construction and reconstruction in my work come through intuition or are guided by past sensations, searching for another existential dimension.
