Felicity Machado's work is a tangible narrative grounded in nature, technology and identity. Her practice takes the form of glass-ceramics objects, videos, poetry and installation to depict personal relationships with plants and nature’s cycles. Through these narratives and research Machado aims to discuss the importance of being connected to local ecosystems, having a critical relationship with technology, and understanding one’s own perspective. To contextualize her work, she draws upon her multicultural lens, as a Brazilian-Mexican-American raised in rural California.
