"I have different themes largely relating to nature and the body. In recent years, I’ve been exploring themes around food, agriculture, colonialism and indigenous ways of relating to the natural world. Normally, I work in series and as I create new work, the work itself often helps inform the next pieces and series." - Lina Puerta, Project Gallery V
