tourist, part-time resident,
distracted by so much color
side by side
too much to see all at once
here but not
from
here
finding landmarks,
to find my way
home
Fraccionamiento
This series of collages was made when I first moved to Mazatlan Mexico full time. They reflect my experiences of navigating through a new city feeling a little disoriented by the vibrant color, noise and activity throughout the day.
I photographed buildings and street scenes which I then cut and glued onto small wood panels. The areas of negative space werefilled with shades of gouache paint further connecting sight lines with color. I was interested in how collage can re-create a fragmented version of a time/space linear walk.
