I am interested in creating communal spaces of reverence and devotion. My work acknowledges the role of immigration in the greater diasporic histories of the United States and the unseen factors and conditions attached to labor’s extensive chain of power. I address the physicality of labor with refuges that render construction work a visible process of materiality and shared knowledge. My work not only creates Zones of Contact for introspection but also connects to the communities in which it exists by engaging with hidden stories and histories shared by the communities in which the work exists. Aesthetically, I draw inspiration from my initial sensory encounters with the Catholic church and the neon-soaked expanse of the Las Vegas desert, my home. I delve into the language of light, color, and architecture. The sensorial spectacle in my work intersects with articulating spiritual spaces, augmenting the contemporary baroque display's experiential and commanding presence. A characteristic of my practice lies in my recontextualization and abstraction of words, a deliberate injection of instability into language. This instability creates situations that push the boundaries of communication, inviting viewers into a realm of constant reevaluation of language. Everyone shares the anxiety of unfamiliarity with language and knowledge. The visually glitched language becomes a physical manifestation of experiences often lost in translation. By interweaving personal memories with collective cultural experiences, I construct narratives that meld the intimate with the communal, offering a nuanced exploration of the American experience. These explorations span media, including photography, painting, installation, sculpture, and fiber arts. I received my BFA in Studio Art from the University of Las Vegas, Nevada, and a Master of Fine Arts in Art Practice from Stanford University. I've shown in museums and galleries throughout the United States, including the Nevada Museum of Art (Reno, NV), Barrick Museum of Art (Las Vegas, NV), NMSU Art Museum (Las Cruces, NM), SOMArts (San Francisco, CA), and Gallery 400 (Chicago,IL.)
