Risa Recio’s practice manifests through varying forms and materials to convey the physical landscape shaped by the economic, cultural, and ecological systems affecting the places she calls home. She is an observer of these systems from a distance, conveying guilt and empathy through making, labor, and gesture. Her body creates and destroys, dances and swims, is here and there; here nor there.
