Two Logs, Reflective Mylar Sheet, Stereo Audio
Environmental installation made with the intent to provoke the human perceptive senses of sight and sound in their entirety. Two logs sit buoyant within a creek, while a reflective sheet of mylar contrasts the sky against the water which it sits upon. Simultaneously, an installed speaker plays a soundscape composed from field recordings of the preserve in which it lives.
Steel, Wood, Plastic, Paper, 1-Channel Video Projection
A documentation of the overwhelming amount of abandoned buildings, lots, homes, and spaces within Binghamton, New York. Projected onto a welded sculpture.
Installed at Spool Contemporary Art Space, a repurposed 1980s shoe factory now serving as an art gallery in Johnson City, NY.
Mixed Media Series and Installation
This installation is a response to the work of David Hammons through my own lens as a Colombian-American artist. The vacuum sealed sugar prints reference the narcotic that has plagued the peace in Colombia as well as the perception of Colombians globally. These photographs, taken in Cali and Cartagena, provide a much more lively and beautiful depiction of Colombia and it’s daily environment.

Multidisciplinary Project
This project is an ongoing exploration into the amount of plastic waste we generate and how it can be used as subject and material. Criticizing the idealization of recycling as a sustainable solution.

Arduino Programmed ‘Plastic to Filament’ Extruder
Recorded footage of polluted water banks and landfills. A self-programmed blob tracking algorithm highlights reflective surfaces, useful for identifying plastic waste. All sound is self-produced.
Strips of plastic water bottles are hand-woven into a small tapestry, warped and thermoformed into the shape of water
