Astrid Terrazas is a Mexican-American artist living in Ridgewood, Queens. Terrazas re-writes worlds; her narratives reflect ancestral folklore, lived experiences, and unearthly transfigurations. They are stories that push personal and communal trauma towards tangible healing. Terrazas uses recurring motifs as artifacts of protection, meant to cast a safety spell upon anyone who encounters them. Her work takes the form of painting, illustrated ceramic vessels, and mixed media sculpture.
