Lopez is a performance artist and sculptor with a background in
fashion and tailoring. These skills in craftsmanship give weight and
invite investigation into every detail of her projects. The costumes
themselves are sculptures handed stitched to turn the body into a
manifestation of the frenzied and hysterical characters that come to
life in the performances. But this is not just theatre to watch,
Lopez's performance becomes the viewer's world as you step into a
space and energy completely transformed. Lopez interacts and reacts
to the people involved with each piece. It is an earnest sharing of
vision that is at once overwhelming and transformative in its
generosity and openness.
Lopez's
most recent works include an installation performance at Pulse NYC,
We
Couldn't Remember What We Came To Forget,
in collaboration with Lisa Lozano and Cold
Castle at
Family Business,a
24 hour, 17 day life installation performance experience.
