August 6 - October 1, 2022
In my work, the visual representation of walls and barriers works as a metaphor for exclusion, uncertainty, containment. Some of border theory that I am referencing in my work come from the Chicana author Gloria Anzaldua’s book Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza:
“Borders are set up to define the places that are safe and unsafe, to distinguish us from them. A border is a dividing line, a narrow strip along a steep edge. A borderland is a vague and undetermined place created by the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary. It is in a constant state of transition. The prohibited and forbidden are its inhabitants.”
