ARTIST STATEMENT

(2021)
Through deconstruction, assemblage, and reproduction, I investigate the complex relationship I have between my cultural identities, as a Latin American growing up in suburban “white” America.
A feeling of belonging in neither place. 

With a combination of photomechanical and traditional printmaking processes, I use these as a source throughout my work to create prints referencing themes of the everyday, memory, politics, education and identity. 

*As of 2022, JOHANNA is an MFA Candidate at Columbia University.
