Utilizing textile-based craft, multimedia apparatuses, and digital manipulation I work to represent the layers of complexity of identity and assimilation within the Caribbean and the Southern region of the United States of America. Working with archives, and contemporary lens-based media I build works that consider how craft, specifically textiles, and digital media can reflect the complexity of assimilation. While the digital materials look to surrealist approaches of storytelling, the physical materials explore 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. In Cana Poco-Poco I am conceptually processing the political and personal divide within Latin American culture of the United States of America, and the complexities of Latin American identity.
