Patricia Orpilla is a visual artist who creates paintings, prints, textiles, and installations. She also works heavily with poetry and research as a part of her studio practice. Within her visual work, her research translates into text and representations of architecture and time. Her work is spatial with scale that aligns with the body and architecture as index. Her recent research is on religious texts, memoirs, maps, and architectural plans specific to sites in Independence, MO and Kansas City, MO region, and the Philippines -- specifically Manila. Using sociology as a lens, her research explores familial lineage, the circulation of language, and manufacturing economies. Her work is interested in the sociological conditions under which religion manifests itself historically and psychologically.
