GERALDINE LOZANO - ARTIST STATEMENT

CV

I am a memory collector and reality creator. My art is a direct result of being torn from one homeland to another. Due to my displacement I have a heightened sense of place. Consciously creating hybrid myths based on archetypal energiess that come closest to the transcendent reality of infinite being. I emphasize the imagination being an attribute of our soul not our mind by investigate my attachments to place, culture, identity and desire in order to learn to free them. Curving the certainty of realities, I use my body and existence to perform elements of the evolution of creation through new forms of tradition surrounded by organic gestures. I create documents and artwork with the organic substances of myself in order to achieve a sense of presence and impermanence. - Geraldine Lozano, 2008
