Submission Sculpture

Head Lamps

I am a Puerto Rican-American ceramic artist and sculptor exploring identity, cultural exchange, and transformation. Drawing from folklore, I combine historical references with contemporary interpretations.

Working primarily in ceramics, I create sculptural forms, wearable sculptures, and interactive installations. My recent work includes ceramic lamps that use projected light and shadows to extend the physical form into surrounding space.

I am an Assistant Professor of Art at Glenville State University, where I teach ceramics, sculpture, drawing, and painting. Having studied in Switzerland, Scotland, Puerto Rico, and Spain, my practice reflects diverse cultural experiences. My research on Puerto Rican vejigante masks and Appalachian traditions, particularly face jugs, continue to inform my work.
