"I am and i am not" ( The letter Series) 2009

14x14inch 

In the letter series I explore the old art of letter writing as being rendered obsolete by technology. I incorporate stamps, photos, films,and actual letters penned by my father to my mother. The intimacy of the dialogue in the letters obscured with paint and text derived from poems. The letters in their intimacy a revelation of two distinct individuals seen and not just from the maternal or paternal perspective. In the series I explore how we leave traces of ourselves as tangible reminders of our existence.
