STATEMENT

Time is a theme crossing her work. Fleeting and scarce time that takes on more resonance with the use of chalk, charcoal, natural pigments; and the subtle nature of these materials. She has also explored other resources such as collage and watercolors, and has found a new way to appropriate the piece of paper: she soaks, tears, scratches, scribbles, segments it, into not perfect square pieces to then reassemble it. Paper turns into body, body at the mercy if time, which is matter, which is finite.
