Alessandra Torres

Alessandra Torres (born 1980) Torres was raised in Puerto Rico, and now she resides in Baltimore, Maryland.

Education Torres studied and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2002,

She notes about her work:My body is the starting point for all of my work. Through Photography, Sculpture, and Interactive Sculptural Installations, I explore the body’s ability to function as a mark-making tool; its ability to communicate thoughts and emotions through gesture, movement, and body language; the body as form; as well as the malleable nature of physical identity. I allow myself to be directed by my physical impulses; I have an insatiable urge to fit into small spaces.
