I feel inclined to explore what happens when the line between inside/outside and public/private, is blurred. My primary tool for doing this is the body.

Growing up in a Catholic context in Colombia, surrounded by danger and violence; feelings, thoughts, fears and mistakes were expected to be secret. The body had to remain concealed. I struggled with dyslexia and other serious learning disabilities and several physical problems including malformations, which I had to have removed and an accident that left me on crutches for almost two years.

My work feeds on a repressed feeling of exhibitionism that comes from a long time of trying to hide my emotions and my body.
