Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
My work draws from personal experience, embracing complexity, to reflect on broader social and political themes. Trying to make sense of the world as a chaos that does not need to be tamed.
I am drawn to the role of myth, religion, and popular media in the construction of meaning. Exploring the intersections of personal and collective memory, reality and artifice, and nonlinear time.
To visualize the layers of historicity we carry with us, I work with scanning, rephotography, collage, video, and writing. I move through fragmentation, welcoming ambiguity, opacity, amalgamation, and the sublime in the quotidian.
In my practice transformation is both subject and method, enacted through process, material and form. Mirroring my lived experience –as a queer Mexican immigrant and the child of an immigrant– continuously formed, deconstructed, and reassembled. I seek to inhabit change and multiplicity, to visualize becoming and unbecoming as a political and aesthetic strategy.
