CLAUDIA MORALES MCCAIN
ARTIST STATEMENT Claudia Morales McCain was born in El Salvador. She and her family immigrated to the United States during civil war in her country. Claudia draws inspiration from this bicultural experience. She uses appropriated photographs combined with personal memory to build make-shift structures of identity. These intuitively built shelters, rafts, boats, trees, or bodies become stand-ins for the artist’s life journey. Claudia’s paintings aim to suspend time and capture an emotional terrain through the absence of character and the use of color and light. The viewer’s body is invited to become the absent character.
