Join the artist at the CAF studio for a one-on-one experience featuring an array of collaged and assembled drawings and paintings. This selection of works is composed of a variety of materials including dyed textiles, hand-molded paper, hand-drawn elements, and painted forms. When describing her work, Maria explained, “When combined, these materials become redefined, and create a new space for forms of representation to operate. The ongoing re-definition of spirituality and identity is something members of the Caribbean nationalities and descent, like myself, must do each day. Through these collages, creolization will occur physically in the art object, creating a mirror of the creolized physicality and spirituality present within its viewers.”
