Ceiba #2
Inspired by photos from my most recent trip to the mountains of Puerto Rico. Through embodied knowledge, I am compelled to learn the curves and lines of the island through my fingers in my large scale drawings to better understand the land of my parents
Hermanas #1
PanPastel and charcoal on Arches Paper
2023
Hermanas (Sisters) 1 is the first in the series of drawings in this series. These drawings are of trees and plants that I observed and photographed on a trip to Puerto Rico with my family. Through these meditative drawings, I aim to learn the lines and curves of Puerto Rico through my fingertips.
Hermanas #3
at the foot of a 400 year old Ceiba tree (site specific installation)
Created on location in Lexington, Virginia’s Staniar Gallery, part of my solo exhibition “Quiero Ir Pa’l Monte”, curated by Andrea LePage.
I combined an improvised wall painting of the roots of an ancient Ceiba tree, with a canopy made of repurposed "urban” materials (strips of hoodies, jeans, hair extensions, beads) to create an interpreted canopy.
