I am a ceramicist who draws from rascuache and queer sensibilities, wherein I delve into the realm of personal and institutional archives. In this act of cultural caretaking I
reinvigorate myself with these histories and keep these legacies alive.
Rooted in my Mexican-American heritage and based in Chicago, my work spans sculpture, installation
and performance; weaving together threads of abjection, imperceptibility, belonging and
kinship. Through a futurist lens I reimagine the boundaries of the traditional and what
ought to be and tread towards what is yet known. To trace connection, memory and
legacy shaped by diverse experiences is at the heart of my practice.
With clay I seek a
reckoning of myself and fail at my own legibility, push against the boundaries of a name
and label and lavish voyeuristically at being known again and again.
I am etching a
home in wretched surfaces.
