Artist Bio: Engaged with art and its relationship with science, technology, alchemy, healing, spirituality, community, and parenting. Interested in observation of the records of memory in matter and its living forces at the crossroads of biocultural diversity. She is concerned about retrieving and validating ancestral and communal knowledge, investigating the link between matter and technology understood as a socio-cultural construction. She recovers the meaning of aesthesis as the ability of the heart to perceive meaning and maintain a sense of bond with the world.
She is currently working on the magnetic properties of minerals and their possibilities to store information through sound as a means of interpretation and induction. Her work articulates technologies, dialogues transmedia, and community processes inquiring about the relationships that weave society with matter, energy, space, time, and the construction of history.
