Artist Statement
My practice is rooted in a process of remembering—personal, cultural, and ancestral. As a multidisciplinary artist working across jewelry, textiles, sculpture, and found materials, I explore the intersection of adornment, ritual, and resistance. I was born and raised in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and immigrated to the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (Vancouver, BC), on these lands I am a settler and in Mexico I am of mixed settler and Mexican descent. My work is shaped by the complexities of diasporic identity, inheritance, and the ways we carry both presence and absence across generations.
I completed a Fine Arts Diploma from Langara College, where I focused on hands-on material exploration, printmaking, sculpture and the relationship between body, object and memory. This education grounded my practice in both conceptual inquiry and hands-on making, allowing me to develop a tactile, process-driven approach that continues to guide my work today. Outside of my formal education, intuition continues to form my practice as a response to each new idea or work. Using recycled metals, fur, fabric, bone, and found elements, I create objects that live between the intimate and the ceremonial—pieces that evoke relics, offerings, and keepsakes. My work often holds tension: between softness and sharpness, visibility and protection, beauty and decay.
Tiny Void is the container for this evolving practice—a space where adornment becomes a language of connection, care, and resistance. Each piece is shaped by personal and collective memory, by land, and by the ongoing process of reclaiming what has been lost, hidden, or disrupted. My work is an act of continuity and quiet defiance: honoring what has come before, while imagining new ways to hold and be held.
