RAVEN SANCHEZ
Raven Sanchez is a multidisciplinary artist from Los Angeles exploring memory and place through painting, sculpture, and process-based works. Sanchez’s art practice focuses on domestic labor and ancestral memory as it is held in the body and in materials. Incorporating elements such as charcoal, sand, rocks, iron, plants, and dried organic matter, she uses the process of rubbing as a way to activate and deepen her examination of fragmentation, loss, abstraction, and vignettes of family. Sanchez studied Sociology and Latin American Studies at the University of San Francisco and has pursued art-making outside of institutional frameworks through artist-run and community spaces in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Sanchez currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
