Blurring Boundaries Sandra Lapage

This book is about the fundamental meaning of my practice: the impossibility of defining boundaries in contemporary times in terms of language as idiom or artistic media, or in terms of nationality or identity, which remain especially relevant issues for those who migrate for family, work, religious, ethnic or political reasons. My work deals with the construction of heteroclite figures, residues of diverse personal experiences, represented on one hand by appropriation - which I do not treat as a conceptual practice, but instead as a sort of safe way to work between the diverse environments in which I am a foreigner - and, on the other hand, by a syncretic coexistence of diverse lines of thought and practices with which I build my identity and culture.
