Soc aquí / I am here
What is home, where am I located, and how did I come to be here?
As a newcomer to Mallorca, I respond to this question by walking again and again between places that mark my studio location in the Tramuntana. These journeys trace my landscape from the Puig de Sa Galera to the foreshore where the mountain meets the sea, through the historic economies of ice, oak, olive, orchard, grape, and fish. The artworks that result from this practice can be seen as a form of expanded geography.
The profound and detailed study of our territories is a form of cherish and care that, in the face of the climate emergency, becomes more pertinent than ever. This is my way forward.
