Short Bio
Julia LaChica is an Oakland based visual artist and designer whose work layers histories and cultures into mixed media assemblages of meaning. Through drips, marks and scratches on surfaces left behind, she reveals stories of migration, mourning, and the promise of belonging.
Statement
My paintings and visual constructions reveal the multi-layered ways personal memory, collective experience, and cultural history take on material forms. In my art, I consciously work to create a sense of an intimate archive that reaches across time by integrating found objects, distressing elements and aging materials in order to reveal how corrosion, rust and wear accumulate on bodies and surfaces over time.
