I was born next to an imaginary line, the 0⁰0’0’’ parallel also known as the Equator. This line divides the earth into two halves, a northern and southern hemisphere. In much the same way, my artistic world thrives at a place of intersection, in this case the intersection between reality and imagination – actuality and potentiality.
It is here in this place that I cultivate and attend to both my artistic and academic work. Currently, I am focusing on the multiple creative expressions manifested in the reclamation and remediation of soil.
My academic research on this topic has been presented in the U.S., the U.K., Brazil, and Ecuador. My related publications in this field include: “Ethical Grounds: The Aesthetic Action of Soil,” in the anthology: Art, Theory, and Practice in the Anthropocene, Julie Reiss (ed.). Vernon Press, 2018; “The Art of Becoming Soil in the Anthropocene: Reclamation and Decomposition” in Writing Visual Culture, Vol. 9, University of Hertfordshire, UK; and “Knowledge Transfer in Ecologically grounded approaches to ubimus: InMesh,” co-authored with long-time collaborators Ariadna Capasso and Dr. Damian Keller, in Journal of New Music Research, Vol. 1.0, Taylor & Francis, 2019. and “Porous Bodies, Toxic Landscapes: Mapping The Massena Critical Zone,” co-authored with Lisa Taliano in Writing Visual Culture, Vol. 10.
I have received many awards for my artistic practice, among which was an affiliated fellowship from the American Academy of Rome (2010). My artwork has been exhibited widely at many of the most representative venues; these include the Institute of Contemporary Art, Portland, ME. (2018), Museo de las Américas, Denver (2013); Museum of Contemporary Art Valdivia, Chile (2012); Knoxville Museum of Art, TN (2009); Islip Art Museum, New York (2007); Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, Ecuador (2007); Museum of Contemporary Art, Iceland (2006); Museo de la Cultura Parque de los Enanitos, Venezuela (2004) and Denver Museum of Contemporary Art (2003).
