Born in Chile, her mother fled to Chile from the Nazi war, then Parker’s family left the Pinochet regime to build a peaceful Canadian life in Alberta. Defining experiences & immigrant upbringing informs her conceptual work, which explores fear of propaganda, injustice, corporate greed. She reimagines the medias view of sci-fi, popular culture, and examines archetypes for conversation. A satiric play at poignant subject matter, she translates divisive outrage to inviting dialogue.
