Ana Perez-McKay Artist Reception • February 13th
Uncharted by Ana Perez-McKay The body of work that is Uncharted uses multiples and combinations of discarded and sentimentally valuable materials, especially reused textile and fiber, to introduce conflicting notions of memory, truth, and meaning. A fiber series is displayed parallel to a paper series, where sister iterations of the same object relate and reflect. The “double” objects are different and the same, ambiguous in sequence (is paper a mockup for quilt? Does quilt inspire documentation on paper?) and use…

This series of portraits incorporates bright colors and beautiful elements while expressing what may be considered heavy subjects. I hope it will show that it is possible to add beauty…
