Artist Statement

I’ve been told I have the Mystic’s energy - that which connects with the collective unconscious. And although I’m not sure about my so-called powers, my art resonates with people’s experiences far and wide. Through graphic and handwork, on paper and incorporating mixed media, I knit networks between the domestic and public realms, the individual and the communal; sharing offerings of what is both intimate and foreign, familiar and novel.

I come from Salta, a city in the far north of my native Argentina. My first home was a sheltered space constituted by a large traditional family unit. I was able to peek beyond the mountains and live in other cities during my formative academic years. I eventually made my way from South America to the US - I now live in a country that 40 million other immigrants call home.

I am from two places at once. Or from none at all.

My somewhat nomadic life has allowed me to connect with diverse communities and cultures. My work explores the meaning of an identity in constant transformation, often through collaborative projects that bring this experience to the forefront as I learn to expand my own notion of shared belonging with those around me.
