Ochoa brings the stuff of everyday life into the work, and through that summons both the unique spirit of the immigrant neighborhood and the heavy weight of history. Found-object combines and sculptural assemblages juxtapose the familiar and the fantastic – deserts and dreams – in works that incisively critique the mythos of the American west through the lens of the Chicanx experience.
