PROJECTS

Lovers

This collage series is based on the human condition I see captured in vintage photographs. People are caught in emotional moments. These moments become fragments of time never to be repeated at the same time or in the same circumstances. These momentary fragments weave the tapestry of our lives.

I have used fabric, watercolor paint and printed papers on primed canvas to make these collages.

COLLAGES OF LOVERS

This is my favorite quote for lovers..

"Where there is love there is life." Mahatma Gandhi.

Reminiscing is bittersweet. We look back at the past, acknowledging both the joy and the sadness. Reminiscing moments become the building blocks of our personal histories and sources of comfort in the present.

Here you will see a series of collages with different themes such as Hope, Holding On and Becoming Invisible

This series is titled "The Other" It speaks about excluding persons who are not members of dominant groups. This type of exclusion is called 'othering'.

“The story of one life cannot be told separately from the story of other lives." Susan Griffin

There is pain in the feeling of being left behind, the fear of being alone, and the struggle to heal from past wounds.

Here I show the courage to walk away from these situations with confidence.

With holding strong we realize we don't need life to be a certain way to live well.

Can we believe life progresses to the next stage at that moment?

Here are some images from my latest project titled "Becoming Invisible" I continue to work on this project which speaks about the stereotypes we inherit involuntarily during various stages of our lives.
