Agustina Woodgate is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the concepts of the human body, human identity, and

human behavior through a wide range of media, including photography, installation, sculpture, video, and performance.

She is not only captivated by self-perception, but she is particularly interested in the ways that human beings relate to

each other, and how people naturally, or unnaturally, relate to the materials around them. The notions of memory,

heritage, tradition, and ritual appear repeatedly in her work and occupy a nebulous space that exists between the

innocence, magic and fantastic dreams of a child, and the mature sarcasm of an adult. Using whatever material suits

her purpose, she transforms the mundane into the enchanted and weaves together the varied properties of the physical

and the spiritual, the internal and the external, and the personal and the collective. To Ms. Woodgate, the meticulous

process of creation is as significant as the final result. Through creation she often arrives at a paradoxical relationship

with the materials being used, and in many cases discovers that the act of collecting material is the first step toward

discovering the ambiguous poetic narrative behind the piece.
