Artist's Statement
One of the main concerns of my artistic practice is the concept of “place” which articulates the relationship between a world conceived internally and the exteriority that circumscribes it. When I think about place I am thinking about the notion of inhabiting, of the development of certain habits in a given space –so as to make it appropriate for oneself. Lately I have been conducting this kind of appropriation through site-specific installations.
I am presently focused on the grammar of images created by maps (as representations of locations) and on their connection with the intimacy of the domestic space. My intention is to create maps of livable (inhabited) spaces, addressing the paradoxical nature of the domestic realm. The representation of a purely physical and geographical space is linked –for me- to the psychological and emotional connotations of any used, interior, domestic and domesticated space.
