Ana Laura Hernández: Code Switching

From the artist:

“Having been born and raised in the US-Mexico border, my work is suffused with the iconography, traditions, and customs that characterize this hybrid space. Hybridity is key to my work. My practice, which includes murals and sculpture as well as works on canvas, blends elements from the border with motifs from American and Mexican popular culture and art history.

By fluidly combining these elements, I present a layered carnivalesque atmosphere underscored by textures and a wide palette of colors.”
