I’m an interdisciplinary artist and writer from the Canary Islands and the United States. After studying law, I spent 3 years working at the Columbia University Law Library and followed that with 8 years in international sustainable development operations as a program manager and analyst. While based in New York City, I co-founded and ran the bilingual gender justice education project Las Marías (2016-2020).
I’m currently based in Spain, where I work as a teacher and translator, while I pursue an MA in Contemporary Art, Literature and Culture with a research track at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. My thesis investigates the generational differences in responses to liminal experiences within new media art and literature.
My practice-based research explores archive construction, the use of language and sound in generating liminality within narrative digital art experiences, and interactive narratives. Information on my past community-based and grounded action research, conducted as one of the two members of Las Marías, can be found here.
the part that matters:
My practice is anchored in real-world concerns (environmental and social justice) and my work and experience in these fields permeates everything I do. I also take immense pleasure in making people laugh. I try to generate the feelings that my favourite art, research work, and fiction gift me: the joy of running into a good puzzle, amusement, enjoyable unease, etc. And of course the excitement around the sense that anything is possible within a world of the mind, that there has to be a way for that space to seep into reality.
What I spend time think about:
the links between attention, affection, connection and action
interactivity and gameplay
geographic hypermobility and its impacts
experiences that generate private moments in crowded spaces
real and imagined soundscapes, the use of sound in liminal spaces
behaviors and language within niche communities
tech and (yes, I’m so sorry) AI
generative art and installations
life drawing
crossword puzzles
