My work is an open-ended forum of simple views and outlooks without boundaries.”

My goal is to create a diffuse atmospheric space where people can be drawn in, and find the possibility to see or not to see...
remote memories, object with lost meanings, archeological discoveries, deep questions, symbols which can be traced from the past, icons from the present and the future, or fragments of coded texts.

Abstracts are something that few people can understand, so I use simple images that they are familiar with to engage them.

These images and objects arise from the depth of my mind, where history, legend and fantasy are mixed. I use fiber as a vehicle to extract a unique vision from daily objects ignore in their simplicity and commonality. The selection of texture, the collection of volumes and structures, and the hand made paper are used to create mysterious entities and characters. I use the box or window structure to create cryptic allusions and to incite the viewer’s curiosity.

"Barcode"Series shows my concern about the environment and the “inventory control” of individuality, resonate visibly throughout her art and set the tone for this show’s theme. As they represent concepts such as identity, classification and powerlessness, the works in ‘Barcode’ bravely focus on the interconnectedness of all things in nature and humankind.

Taking on the concept of slight variations in DNA resulting in completely different individuals, Federman explores an analogy in our everyday surroundings, where millions of products are identified by minimal changes in barcodes. Just as scanners can recognize barcodes, people can distinguish their surroundings by prior experiences, expectations and predispositions: when presented with an abstract image they are free to decipher it in any way according to their perceptual set.

This current body of work that moves between painting, mixed media and assemblages, centers on techniques of mounting and layering resulting in the display of conventional objects in an unpredictable representation.
In my series: “Fruits” shows abstracts as backgrounds for bananas, peaches and oranges; “Fish” depicts beings that are powerless in front of ecological damage infringing upon them; “Angels” includes children, angels and other symbolic beings of good. Some times combined with words written in English and Spanish, the words reflect messages of pain and hope.
