Caity Salamanca

When someone asks me about my practice I struggle to find the words because my work is a replacement of language. Articulation has never been my strong suit but I always found a way to stand out by sudden, short lived moments of magic. My work is a direct correlation to the moments of magic I’ve expressed throughout my life commonly described as silent but deadly, overlooked but remembered, uneducated but smart. This is how I’ve felt moving through life until I started my art practice in 2020. I’ve realized the past few years as I continue to strengthen my practice that this magic has been imbedded in me the whole time, it’s not for me to store away for the next magical moment. When I started showing last year, I slowly developed comfort in wearing my magic on my sleeve while meeting new friends and mentors who encouraged me to continue to work. As my art has gone through many transformations, I’ve reached a place that feels true, honest and reveals who I want to become. I create this work to change energy and give the viewer the courage to look inward.
