Small scale sculpture of female torso with penis in place of legs and green speckled glaze
Statement: Mónica is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, CA, whose practice explores the diverse possibilities of materials and processes. Her passion for crafting with her hands began at an early age, with a deep interest in sewing, soft sculpture making, painting, and drawing. This early fascination with tactile creation has since expanded into a versatile practice that includes metal object and jewelry making, mixed media sculpture, poetry, dance, and experimental sound.
Mónica's work often merges techniques from sculpting and jewelry-making, blurring the boundaries between these two crafts to create uniquely expressive pieces. She harnesses these skills to explore human emotions and the intricate ways we connect with one another through life’s inner and outer experiences. By delving into the mysteries of emotion and behavior, Mónica’s work fosters understanding and solidarity, transcending barriers to forge connections that resonate on a deeply human level.
