¨I observe the different scales of nature; to later transform them into atmospheres where the real is related to the fictitious.¨ Josefina Frederick
ARTIST´S STATEMENT
My work is created from the observation of natural phenomena through archive images and personal records that illustrate different scales of organic perception: molecular sequences, micro organisms, human anatomy, geology and records of the universe.
Through translation into drawing, I manipulate materiality through monochrome and distortion to establish an atmosphere of fiction and strangeness that makes us think of images of territories and organisms, open to imagining other possible places.
ABOUT FRONTIER
The physical space is no longer necessary to be able to generate links with other artists or with your own work. The constant exchange of ideas created those connections that generate needs to go further. The value of exercise as experimentation and not as a final result. The unanswered questions that inspire you. The talks of those artists who have so much to share. All this generated in me an important and fundamental internal movement.
Thank you very much Proyecto ´ace for the organization, commitment and interest in the search for each participant. The organizers were always attentive to our doubts and concerns. Leaving this instance as a very positive and recommended experience.
