Artist's Statement

I'm seeking connection, community, and groundedness through my art. I use newspapers printed in a variety of languages including Spanish, Portuguese, Bengali, Turkish, Urdu, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese to create mixed media collages celebrating neighborhoods, storefronts, and street scenes in Somerville and surrounding communities. The built environment of our cities and neighborhoods are textured and layered with meaning, and I want to connect with that through layering paper, text, and color. I hope to suggest a new way of seeing the world, through celebrating the beauty of everyday and places, and the human beings those places represent.
