SCOPIC CIPHERS - Elysa D. Batista, A Solo Exhibition Opening Reception
Scopic Ciphers is a collection of Batista’s internalized repressed experiences with relation to race, gender, and culture. It is a series of sculptural complaints that dissects the manner in which preconceptions and prejudices vary across both domestic and international spectrums.
Her three-dimensional work explores the multiplicity of meanings in accordance to sociopolitical power dynamics and national identity. Batista carves, cuts, and folds manipulated digital typography onto materials including wood and aluminum, which are then mechanically affixed onto material such as plexiglass.
Born in Panama City, Panama. Batista earned her Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) from Parsons The New School for Design in New York City in 2013, prior to which she earned her Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) from the University of Miami in 2009.
