About The Artwork
This small is a portrait of my surrogate grandma on a old tin.The artwork have a LED light and it is behind a image of she and me made with human hair. I grew up surrounded by hair in my mother’s salon, which I had to walk through to get to her house. Using hair as an artistic medium is both “beautiful and symbolic.” It is also a literal marker of my identity, with hair containing both my and my family’s DNA.

Australia
I work with a mix of symbolic materials, items and objects - including my own and my family’s hair - that remind me of the stories of my life and that reference my Catholic past, my DNA and my connection with my family. Hair in particular is symbolic since I grew up in and around a hair salon. Religious elements appear both consciously and unconsciously throughout my work. I commonly use wood as a material to create my assemblages; I am attracted to worn wood, rusty metal, peeling layers of paint: symbolic materials that remind me of my hometown in Colombia.
