Atenea Solan Apodaca

Sobre el Proceso

Athena Solan Apodaca's work shows patterns of human behavior and expresses the psychological relationships people have with their environments. Human intentions and behaviors are often difficult to decipher in a world defined by social norms and expectations. These visual entanglements act like narratives of rumination and its outcome. Athena's process focuses on mark making, layering and non-traditional applications of media to present alternative ways of looking at behavior patterns and routines. As a mixed media artist, Athena uses her sewing machine to encourage a consistent rhythm of permanent marks which is then interrupted by drawing, painting and disassembling. The fragmented landscapes, skeletal buildings or suggestions of garments, help the viewer to incorporate their own mental processes within the work.
