Artist's Statement
The multidisciplinary work of Patricia Schnall Gutierrez (including painting, drawing, sculptural objects, performance and installation) draws its inspiration from a self-referential account of personal memories, situations and emotions. Using distinct choices of mediums, household objects and materials, she creates an autobiographical account of the everyday, drawing the viewer into an intimate dialogue that often probes questions of gender and sexuality. Through her personal stories, she shares a unique perspective on controversial issues facing contemporary woman and society.
