My recent exploratory series Juxtapositions, is a body of double-sided collages — mixed media on paper, where I layer, play, and build dense, multilayered compositions heavy with color. Most of the works are mounted in handcrafted 3D frames that let both sides be seen at once.

I see each artwork as dual faceted… a singular piece and a series of art that explores a moment in time. I’ve been making these images steadily over the past couple of years and realized I was creating a record of my life. I carry a journal with me and build them from wherever I am. These works overlap my life in America as I carry Mexico with me. 

Each collage grows out of daily experience — the details, contradictions, and coincidences of my in-between life — I’m now pulling a group of them together into a quilt-like compilation, so it can hang from the ceiling and be walked around, read from both sides, the way the work asks to be.
