I create soft textile sculptures and mixed media pieces that both honors and subverts the medium of crochet and traditional woman’s work. The pieces are a reflection on my bicultural Latina identity and what that mean in today’s society. I explore the universal themes of love, lust, and desire from memories and childhood experiences. The duality of these themes and their cultural constructs are central to my work. I utilize materials that may be interpreted as toy-like and playful while imbuing a sense of seriousness and drama.
