Archival Pigment Print With Silkscreen And Hand-Drawing On Rag Paper Edition of Dimensions (WxH): 20 x 20cm
My practice began in my birth country (Spain) and was rooted in drawing. As I moved to the United States in my teens, it expanded and now includes printmaking, painting, collage, fibers, and papermaking. It reflects a tactile sensibility and an affinity for layering, patterning and ornamentation.
Thematically I originally focused on the interaction among the female body, advertising and fashion, and I viewed the female body as a repository of cultural and psychological experiences. I was interested in how fashion is implicated in constructing a particular identity and conception of female beauty. Later, my interest shifted towards the formal relationships between the body and the layers wrapping it – skin and garment – as a meditation on identity & self.
Recently, I have become invested in representing the female body in a different way altogether. No longer concerned by its outer shell, I am inspired by imagined visions of its insides, microbiology, and a pulsing emotional and spiritual inner landscape. I view it as connected to nature, and to perennial and inexplicable forces that guide and shape it, thus offering a less concrete and finite way of understanding the body.
