Biography
The poet Gustavo Perez Firmat encapsulates in the best way the intention of my work. This is an except from his writing:
"The fact that I
Am writing to you
in English
Already falsifies what I
Wanted to tell you.
My subject:
How to explain to you that I
don’t belong to English
though I belong nowhere else."
Work Statement:
My work investigates the relationship that exists between issues of citizenship, womanhood, and cultural identity. Generated as Auto-portraits, I use myself as a subject and object to explore issues of colonialism, immigration and assimilation as a form of survival. I create images that exposes the consequence of melding, hybridizing, or preserving aspects of otherness.I employ the use of multiple media in the areas of photography, video, serigraphy, painting, installation and digital media.
