My artwork pivots around issues of migration, navigation, displacement and transformation. Through a hybrid practice that encompasses printmedia, site-specific and participatory projects, I tap into our sense of memory, of being and of belonging within the divergent territories we inhabit—geographic, cultural, social, political—and the (in)stability therein. I employ subtle disruptive strategies to alter the sense of "normality", often drawing on the anomalous, the absurd and the subversive. This is particularly true of my digital prints and installation works. Printmedia's language of reproduction, doubling, mimesis, mutation and contamination is an apt vocabulary to speak of the queer body, transmutability, transgression and resistance. These concepts are the basis for my installation works consisting of hundreds of sculptural forms that seem to invade architectural spaces. These cell-like forms of diverse sizes and shapes blend with their surroundings as camouflaged replicating agents. Alterity and subtle disruption also drive my participatory works, which are grounded in the social sphere and dialogic exchanges. These works inhabit the space where the personal, collective, historic and imagined intersect. My intention is to reveal what might live in our memories and imaginaries, and how it might become evident, shared and layered inviting participants to be transported to a space of coexistence—simultaneously historic, remembered, retold and imagined, and interwoven within our own contemporaneity.
As an artist I am interested in engaging various publics and contexts with works that encompass the perceptual, the sensorial and the experiential.
