Chicago - Bogota

My practice expands in the fields of documentary, video installation, light and sound , exploring the different threads that weave planetary systems into the production of space. I explore small-scale agriculture aesthetically and narratively as a craft that shapes larger ecologies. My background in regenerative business design and environmental conservation has led my work to be responsive, taking an intuitive approach to landscape and an informed ethic to the communities that I collaborate with. The work seeks to confront the constant forces of territorial displacement caused by multinational/ industrial extractivism. My recent work explores weather, meteorology as a medium. It is driven by gestures where atmosphere, climate and other forces of the current geological age are embodied through the senses. Furthermore, the idea of memory in biological bodies that are sculpted by landscape is present in several of my works. The work seeks to situate the current geological age in the memory of aesthetic experiences of sound and image, where our own implication in planetary systems is confronted.
