ARTWORK STATEMENT

My latest production addresses collective healing and binge-healing notions by creating sculptures conceived as ghost-hybrid creatures. These embodiments are questioning the schisms of biomedicine inside post-human beings that are profoundly linked with the social-environmental context and the unseen realm of spirits.

BIOGRAPHY

At the center of Toma’s practice lies the exploration of the narrative subjectivity – intersubjective we, within historically situated traversing webs of gender, power hierarchies, and ecological degradation.  These intersectional analyses include less visible ‘intimate’ scales, such as concepts of femininity, structures of domesticity, and the possibilities of the transformative power of the self. She addresses the palimpsest of colonial ideologies and narratives that are necessarily linked to them, through research that highlights the theme of collecting as a practice. Her work is not rooted in one geographical place and culture but as an interconnected process around the notion of cure. She wants to create works that serve as trans-morphing objects whose extrinsic power crosses the boundaries between ‘us’ and ‘I’, producing new ecological imaginaries and understandings of inner or “domestic” places
