My work is conceptually driven and has been focused in the alienating experiences of humanity and anti-natural behaviors and the absurd selfdestructive path that humanity seeks. The willing, a blind purposeless striving, an irrational urge or impulse prior to thought that can unleash human’s capacity for barbarity which encompasses: War, oppression, total disregard of other species (specisism), terrorism of state, sexual aggression and objectification of women, false moral and neocolonialism. Humans are alienated from their own humanity and animality. My work has also autobiographical elements. I have been working with photography, collage, fiber, video and installation. I do fiber work in which I incorporate photographs printed on canvas, embroidery and felt appliqué stitched in to fabrics. The Insurgent Women series evoke the destruction and horror of warfare and its absurdity as a megalomaniac compulsion of gluttony in humankind. The Theocratic Republic Of Gaia, is a fictitious world that I have created where my characters exist; The Papess, the Theocratic Army, etc...The Theocratic republic is a globalized civilization where the population gets brainwashed and forgets what reality is. Contemporary society is trapped in a world of lies staged by the powerful governments and corporations; they are the new theocratic governments, becoming more important than god. The media and consumerism are the new subjects of doctrine and adoration. These happenings are producing a brainwashed society, which the powerful are aiming to manipulate. In the Theocratic Republic Of Gaia, the possibility of a worldwide staging of an artificial "return of Christ" is awaited, and efforts to establish a theocratic, fascist world government are taking place. It also predicts an imminent period of intense geological and social upheaval during which tensions built up over centuries will be discharged.
