My work is inspired by the psychological impact that mass media- and mass production have on our society. I am especially interested to re-make those mass produced objects that seem no longer relevant to our society and transform them into new realities, changing our memories and our perceptions of them.
Because my work is interactive it gives the viewer an active role on the decision whether to be removed or not from a reality to which they have become accustomed. My work engages them to reflect on our relationship with material and culture.
For the Chicana/0 Biennial I am showing Osiloscopiando from the Recycling Junk series.
I hope you will enjoy it!

For the last month or so I have been working on my upcoming installation and exhibition entitled “IN TIE ONE WE TRUST” to be held at the bluedahlia’s Studio gallery, 3435 Cesar Chavez, #315 in San Francisco, and opening on August 19th, 2007, 4 - 9 pm. The exhibition is on view through August 31st by appointment only. For more information call 415.828.4418. Here are photos documenting my progress as i create the installation almost all from scratch and mostly using recycled materials. Thanks to the Sanitary Fill/Norcal Company, the SF Garbage Dump for the Spectator newspaper rack, the fake flowers, the Christmas lights, some of the wood, and most of the spray paint i used. A special thank you also goes out to Paula Goodman and Express Service Signs in Cincinatti for all of her wonderful recycled sticker vinyl scraps. And of course, I want to thank the anonymous donor who made all the copies of the “TIE warning” stickers from the original TIE made so long ago. Thank you. You know who you are, my other hero. A final thanks goes to Julie Blankenship of bluedahlia’s Studio gallery for hosting my show. I love you, Julie!
For months, the parking lot outside my apartment remained empty… preceding the new p.c. raza mural (also now in progress since these photos have been taken) and revamped parking lot, so i decided to make use of the space and spend some time making art outside in the nice weather and the urban landscape.
