Personal Studio Research
The work I am creating looks at structures’ interwoven role in politics and citizenship in the Americas & Caribbean. Focusing on the mimicry of the architecture of a house in connection to the structure of borders and democratic apparatuses I question the seduction of the American home and its role in assimilation. Focusing on familial narratives of migration the works within my practice build upon the blended structure of an upbringing as a child of immigrants. Mesmerizing movements of multimedia apparatuses begin to open portals for viewers to engage with the heartache and uncertainty of oral histories in the power structure of the United States of America. Digital materials look to surrealist approaches of storytelling, the physical materials explore the abstractions of narratives within a family heritage. My current studio practice marries craft and digital media to produce experiences in which viewers can engage in a series of questions while sitting in a tender space of vulnerability.
