Artist Statement/ Biography

Claudia is a visual artist currently living and working between Buenos Aires and NYC. Her work focuses on the material traces of objects that make up urban and domestic spaces, exploring relationships between architecture and history, proposing memory as a physical and spatial quality. She collect fragments of the spaces she inhabits by making photographic impressions and sculptural casts, investigating how both light and residue transfer between surfaces and the transformations that occur through decomposition. She engages with built environments as something permeable and absorbent, connecting interiors to exteriors and ultimately her body to the spaces she works in. She is drawn to the walls, windows, and fences that mark public from private as boundaries to open up on the sensory register. These structures become skins, reflecting on how material details construct the identity of a landscape and its inhabitants.
