MFA Parsons The New School, NYC /// BFA Otis College of Arts and Design, Los Angeles.
Statement
I am interested in deconstructing recorded history and its fixed patterns, especially those dictated by the male gaze. Through collage, sculpture, and ready-made, I combine images from different historical periods to uncover similarities and overlaps. The gesture of bringing together is an act of resistance to the dominant history and its hegemonic visions under which my queer female Latinx identity is forced to operate. By combining seemingly unrelated visual representations, I want to create opportunities for the viewer to consider how imagery that is typically seen as harmless—like a neoclassical statue of a naked female body, the public representation of a brave man riding a horse, or a softly lit classical-Hollywood portrait—can be detrimental to the way we relate to and think about class, power dynamics, and gender.
