These tactile collage supports integrate used physical materials directly from the artist's&nbsp; experiences as a patient (hospital socks, surgical hairnets, etc.), written excerpts of BDSM scenes between patients in hospital settings but void of medical authority figures, translucent mesh with hand casted rubber hospital grips, and colored plexiglass transforming the colors of the hospital materials and found bandanas (traditionally used in hanky code).

They explore this research through mold-making processes, workshop and pedagogical facilitation, and movement and object-based performances. They received an MFA in Sculpture + Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University and a BFA from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Velozo has exhibited, taught, and facilitated workshops in New York, Jersey City, Philadelphia, Richmond, and Miami and internationally in Canada, Mexico, and New Zealand. for CV or inquires: alx.velozo@gmail.com&nbsp; https://alxvelozo.com/CV Sun, 06 Mar 2022 19:47:13 +0000 alx velozo https://alxvelozo.com/CV <img width="612" height="792" width_o="612" height_o="792" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/55185a3697989b0408841c78dc63b140c9385b59282698a17198badbf4c8031f/Web_Alx_Velozo_Adjunct_CV-2021.jpg" data-mid="135497508" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/612/i/55185a3697989b0408841c78dc63b140c9385b59282698a17198badbf4c8031f/Web_Alx_Velozo_Adjunct_CV-2021.jpg" /><img width="612" height="792" width_o="612" height_o="792" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6c6fb073961e3bfd7c2f5514645cc796076ce60403ed9c252aca9bec73f43fe9/Web2_Alx_Velozo_Adjunct_CV-2021.jpg" data-mid="135497509" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/612/i/6c6fb073961e3bfd7c2f5514645cc796076ce60403ed9c252aca9bec73f43fe9/Web2_Alx_Velozo_Adjunct_CV-2021.jpg" />
