In my drawings compulsive TV watching and Internet surfing are mixed with the sounds of prayers and the visual memories of my Mother's crochet patterns.  In each work I choose a system of mark-making with a specific pressure, creating surfaces that are records of repeated events.  The everyday use of technology and the memory of Mexican rituals come together as if both were part of a common anxiety and desire, transmuted in the form of drawings.
