About the Artist

RETRIEVE:
The starting point is always in the retrieved objects, in the truth and humor of familiar objects that I reverse (through welding or sewing).
Retrieving trivial or manufactured materials (vintage leather, toys, mannequins, textiles, plastic objects)that I arrange in the volumes I create in order to achieve a poetic ensemble rooted in my own history and that of others.

REPARE:
Reinvest the production systems traditionally associated with women.
Establish the link with the feminine and household creative tradition that surrounded me during my childhood. Replace the technical means and approach (sewing basket, sewing machine, crochet) in the process to create volumes that occupy the space.

REVERSE/SHIFT:
Associate and intuitively assemble materials in an evolving process of consecutive transformations.
To shift and suggest critical and playful contradictions in which the disturbing strangeness can show up.
That which is perceived as familiar, becomes disturbing.
