Exile
Soraya Marcano
1998
ink and acrylic on paper, with six paper boats, unique bookwork
My work is about communicating the experiences that define the self. // I reinvent the past (including family histories and exile) using it as a resource for the analysis of one's identity and as a setting for a variety of collective memories. // Objects, memory boxes and books are used to explore feelings of displacement. Through the use of sequence and repetition I refer to passages in a life where there is not a beginning or an ending point, just transition and a sense of existing between a variety of places. // I am very interested in recreating personal stories as a reflection of the self's condition of flux. I especially address such topics by deconstructing the body and drawing my own historical map. // I explore marks, traces and imprints that record life, geographical placement and travel. I am interested in art works that evolve from daily experiences.
