chema is an interdisciplinary artist working with found material. part intuition, part research, their practice reflects an approach they call 'recreating geographies'
this practice manifests itself primarily in installation, sculpture and photography. their use of the found and the discarded transforms material into a critique of the contemporary overconsumption and destruction of the natural environment
'recreating' refers to the inherently artificial process of making in their work, a tendency to draw from what's already there, and how their materials are often human-made.
'geographies' because of the use of space: site-specific installation, critiquing the role of the artist in the studio, or drawing on real-life development and destruction
‘we are born as verbs rather than nouns.’ - Agnes Martin
