I am an L.A and O.C. based artist
currently working with collage
to explore my interests in culture
and assimilation. I received my MFA
from Otis College of Art and
Design in 2007.
I am interested in identity and how it is shaped
and defined by cultural institutions. I have been exploring the
microcosm of the nuclear family and the business establishment by
which my family maintains independent sustenance. By focusing on
the subjective and experiential aspect of human interaction,
analogies in the larger, broader systems of institution are
spontaneously and simultaneously dealt with and discussed.
A major concept that interests me is the
binary between dependence and independence. Experience tells me
that I have been dependent on institutions to survive and that I
am also the product of the institutions. I am always a part of the
whole and inextricably linked. From one place to another and from
one system to the next, I am constantly consuming and assimilating
to survive. |
