ARTIST STATEMENT

Paloma Mayorga is an interdisciplinary artist working in photography, video, performance, and installation. Often using her own body as medium, Paloma’s work explores movement and place in relation to landscape and ancestral uses of plants. Her work is tactile yet ephemeral. It embraces transient materials that grow and dry out over time, and documents an intimate relationship between the body and nature.

Through the performance of invented rituals, Paloma investigates the concept of botanical wisdom, or the practice of slowly unearthing bits of inherited knowledge that have been passed down generations of women in her family as tools for healing and survival.
