The Pan in the Bag Project is in response to Georgia’s New Gun Law 2008. My point of view is neutral. I am a viewer who focuses on adaptations that humans make in different environment and situations in everyday life. My response as a witness is to help fix situations; in this case it is a protection device that carries a pan that the user can take out when in danger.

Artist Statement
My performantive pieces evoke situations and emotions in everyday life. They work as emotional prosthetics that have a self-reflective feature: Feeling vulnerable in a new environment and trying to adapt to it, this situation creates fear and comical circumstances that I fix with pieces that “supply” or satisfy a need.
I explore the concept of functionality as a material and media to create ambiguity between art, design, performance and sculpture. In addiction I use other materials like fibers, electronics and found objects that combine with traditional art techniques such as drawing, sewing, photograph and video. Through my work I create ironic links between communication and sound, feminine and identity, protection and adaptation as human condition.
