Monica
Local wonder, edgy and black, soft and mysterious
Monica isn’t a girl. She’s an identity.
She’s an extension of a culture, a household name, and of unknown origin.
Enjoy.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Juxtaposition is core to my work. I am particularly fond of old vs. new. Old school, traditional printmaking aesthetics is a consistent theme married with contemporary compositions, treatments, and tooling. I am an artist-turned-engineer-turned-artist. My work is literally black and white.
I stumbled across Monica. Monica is not someone. She is an identity. She is a culture and a reference point. She is a wine grape, a local black grape varietal, central to Sardinian wine. She’s woven into the culture though her origins are lost to history.
​
This collection starts with my grandmother, weaves through wine, and borrows from earlier work. It is sometimes literal and specific, other times abstract, cultural, and vague.
It is a reflection of origins—occasionally concrete and emotional with many things missing.
