“numbness and tingling” - print

“In my mixed media, sculpture and installation work, the recurrent subject matter has been the body, especially fragmented body parts, acting as receptacles for storytelling. 

I am using the memory of observed and experienced events especially those from my childhood and from the news, for creating installations.

Besides, I explore the notion of trace that indicates the existence of others and my own. Trace also shows the passing of time. Many of my projects suggest the course of time as they examine memories, past actions or incidents, and events that happened at a specific and recorded time.

In my practice, I have a strong interest in the handmade process. I have used several materials such as clay, papier-mâché (I make my own paste using flour, salt and water), fabric, wood, paper, plaster and chicken wire among others. In addition, I am also often drawn to natural materials, available in the every day life.”
