Artist Statement
I consider myself as part of a deviated group of animals that has, for some unknown reasons, forgotten how to symbiotically relate to their environment.
The objects and performances that I produce refer to episodes and images that in my daily life are example of this paradox. I consider my point of observation and personal history -a urban, white western woman and mother- but I attempt to stretch these occurrences into archetypal patterns distancing from a discourse on identity.
I attempt to distance my self from an anthropocentric understanding of all relations. Plants, animals, natural elements often appear in my works portrayed as having sentience, equal to people and sharing emotions.
Experimentation on techniques and craft plays and important role in my practice: materials compete, carry special metaphorical meanings and mingle with the figurative part of the work. This makes for characters suspended in symbolic actions deprived of time and historical context.
The idea of presence vs. distraction is also addressed in my performances.
I choreograph unexpected situations that engage the public as collaborators of experiments or rituals, all aiming at stimulating a deeper sense of self-awareness and communal presence within an animist landscape.
