West Gallery
Brownstone, 2011, Plywood and Wood stain, 54"x50"
My work is about the relationship of our life with home and environment and what it means to each of us as a physical place, a way of life and a map of memory. I draw the passing of time, repetitions of behavior, my interaction with people and their domestic spaces. All blends to create my sense of reality. I record, trace, map, alter, translate and transform, using sculpture, drawing, collage and installation. I draw and build fictive spaces to situate myself in ephemeral reality.
In my drawings and installations, the space I create becomes an imaginary space, which holds emotional experiences and contains compressed time of life.
