I am a visual artist working in collage, assemblage sculpture and altered books. My practice explores identity, memory and the history of the African diaspora. Vintage and contemporary images collide to convey how the past informs the present.


"Green" day


 
Selected scenes from last weekend's opening reception for the "It's Not Easy Being Green" art exhibit...
Mostly, I did what I do best--
run my mouth introduce myself to other artists, as well as to arts commissioners Pat Condon and Rennie Grossman.
Jennifer Kuhns and Patrick S. McKenna were awarded gift baskets from local businesses...
 ... for Jennifer's "Curtains of Ice Web" recycled glass and cabinet door piece (upper left)
... and Patrick's "Fronds," a tissue paper fern piece (lower left).
 
All the artwork is for sale, including "The Plumber's Jealousy" (email me at yolisalisa at g mail dot com if you're interested). You'll get a better idea of how it'll fit into your home by seeing it in person! (winkwink nudgenudge...)
All the artwork will be on display until November 18th at the Lynnwood main library gallery. "The Plumber's Jealousy" is in the display case on the right, just before the library doors.
Yeah, right there in the center of the second level.

Where are you going to be on Thursday?

It's coming this weekend...
