The work looks at structures’ interwoven role in politics and citizenship in the Americas. Focusing on the mimicry of the architecture of a house in connection to the structure of borders and democratic apparatuses questioning the seduction of the American home. Focusing on familial narratives of migration the work builds upon the blended structure of an upbringing as a child of immigrants. While the digital manipulation looks to surrealist approaches of storytelling, the physical material explores the abstractions of narratives within a family heritage. My current studio practice marries craft and digital media to produce experiences in which viewers can engage in a series of questions while sitting in a tender space of vulnerability. If a structure is a tool of dividing the private and the public then how does one account for the political? At what point does the personal become political in the context of home? Can a quilt protest? Can a house stand as a rallying cry?
