| Immigrant |
| This series is concerned with immigration today. I teach in an urban school district, with students who are immigrants or the children of immigrants. The Immigrant series uses prints on paper of fragments of faces combined with maps. The images are pierced and knotted with threads or thin wire. I've also created a group of altered books on this theme that incorporate digital photographs, and photocopied family photos. This work is about the tenuous hold immigrants often have on life here--caught between cultures, languages and seen as threats, victims, or burdens to society. One of my Immigrant pieces is part of a large show of political printmaking that will travel to several cities in the US. Los Angeles, Washington DC, Portland and others. Check back for information.
