A grid of cells ruled in gold on ultramarine, each holding one figure drawn in a single gold line. Read down the rows the figures go from standing and walking, to crouching, to kneeling, to lying flat.

The series she is finishing now, and the work she wants to exhibit as a group: the migration out of Venezuela, the disappeared, and the people killed in the protests against the government between 2014 and 2024. Gold leaf runs through all of it, and it is not decoration.

A flat gold suitcase, seen square on, centred on a deep indigo ground. Inside it a disc of gold leaf carries dark diagonal bars across its face, like the griddle marks on a flatbread.

salí con mi arepa debajo del brazo

Torture Studies2024
Small copper single-line figures scattered across a flat ultramarine ground in loose rows, with empty copper-outlined rectangles standing in the gaps between them where figures would be.
History Will Remember2024
One tall figure drawn in a single broad gold line on ultramarine, standing with its hands held behind its back, surrounded by a halo of brushed darker blue that echoes its outline.
