My work stems from the role I played in my childhood home. My father was a Chilean theater actor and director. I was his first-born U.S daughter and his studio audience. I am driven by the possibility of aestheticizing comedies of domestic space, specifically, relationships between parents and children.
Working in video, performance, installation and photography I use improvisation as well as language from Absurdist theater as material.
