My visual rearrangements draw upon the paradoxical bond between architecture –a language of construction par excellence-with that of destruction and dislocation. In rearranging various materials I seek a potential poetics – a kind of cartography of social oblivion –that is simultaneously exposing but also recovering scattered fragments of an unrealized utopian project.
Traducido del inglés
Mis composiciones visuales recurren a la paradójica unión entre la arquitectura (un lenguaje de construcción por excelencia) con la destrucción y la dislocación. Al reconfigurar estos diferentes materiales busco una potencial poética, una especie de cartografía del olvido, que simultáneamente revela y también recobra fragmentos desperdigados de un proyecto utópico frustrado.
