Lexington, KY
I am a fiber artist working with textiles and mixed media to materialize a psychological landscape of nostalgia and remembrance in order to weave alternative histories and mythologies. The complexities of identity-building as a person touched by displacement, migration, and transculturation are present through my manipulation of textiles, layering and accumulation. Originally from Santa Clara, Cuba, my family moved to the US in my adolescence. I earned a BFA and a BA in Sculpture and Art History from Jacksonville University, and have participated in residencies at the New York Academy of Fine Arts and the Studios at MASS MoCA. My work has been exhibited at The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens, the Parachute Factory, and, most recently, at Patricia Sweetow Gallery, amongst others. I currently live in Lexington, Kentucky, where I am pursuing an MFA in Visual Studies at the University of Kentucky.
