ABOUT:

"I consider my installations to be archival fragments of geographical identities. Through objects, videos, rituals, poetry, and textiles, I invite the viewer into a multi-world of symbols and beliefs. Often referencing pre-columbian mythology, my work explores the process of cultural healing and alternate systems of knowledge denied and dismissed by colonialism. Through weaving and extracting natural dyes from seeds and corn native to Central and South America and I undergo a state of communication with ancestral labor: a state that reconnects my body to my motherland. Although the location of my work varies, I often find myself and my objects developing alongside Mother nature and tend to display my work in relation to the conditions of the wheel of the year."

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
