"Separator: Unite Us" in action in Governor's island
A group show where 65 artists come together under the idea of a sudden huge event or moment that strikes them. I present "Separator: Unite US!" - A performance "poncho" made for the Black Lives Matter protests during the summer of 2020, using the color of police uniforms.. Participants made openings for their heads according to current social distancing comfort levels. This work is a homage to fellow Brazilian artist Lygia Pape's 1968 white "Divisor".

In my work for the Queens Botanical Garden, incidental sun light traverses color transparencies projecting shadows on to the ground. Patches of color intensify or fade depending on the sun’s intensity. Participants can bathe in colored light and transform themselves under it. I am inspired by the transcendence of stained glass and the versatility of assemblage. Hand stitching brings these traditions together and evokes the realm of feminine expressions of the past.
Project developed as part of AnkhLave Garden Fellows program. By presenting artists and art-making in a nontraditional setting like the QBG, AnkhLave aims to promote BIPOC artists who represent and reflect the Garden’s visiting audience.
This project is made possible by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the New York City Council.
