Marta
I Intend to change the perception of the urban landscape, open questions and wonder, show other positive possibilities to situations of crisis, allow play, bring color, and provide moments of good interaction with others.
My work combines a process of transformation and addition, removal, erasure, and change. It contains layered fragments of time and materials collaging together as life itself, with the complexity of unpredictable events but also with the intentional and somehow contained fluidity that ultimately shapes our lives.
It is all about observing and tracing the surroundings in the presence of time, light, or quick memories.
I was born in Medellin-Colombia and moved to NYC in 1997.
I have a degree in Fine Arts from The National University of Colombia and a BFA in Graphic Design. I have worked in visual arts and textile design over the last 20 years.
have been part of the Upper Manhattan community for about 20 years and so happy to be part of Cornerstone Studios since 2015.
