About Briseida Ochoa
Briseida Ochoa's (Brioch) work includes photography, painting, mixed media and printmaking. By applying abstraction, she creates intense personal moments created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring in the viewer. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. Her work demonstrates how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and often tells a story about the effects of cultural interaction. It challenges the binaries we continually reconstruct between self and the other. She currently lives and works in Bentonville, AR.
I use photography and printmaking as a means to new perspectives and realities with the help of cyanotype and anthotype techniques. My work focuses on the idea of transcendence and the existence of visual poetic narrative through the human figure, landscapes, scenography, installations, performances, and symbolism. It also focuses on the interaction of reality with memories, fused with imagination. Through the techniques of cyanotype and anthotype, I pull from the natural resources of the region, using beets and spinach extracts to create abstract prints. Oftentimes I find inspiration by my community's social issues and surroundings, and seek a creative way to portray them and contribute to a possible solution while creating public awareness. I am currently at work on a project called Dobleces//Pliegues (Folds//Crease), an experimental short film that focuses on the figure of women within the contour of the techniques, spaces, process, time, and body language in the border area.
