Artist Bio/Statement:
I am here, here I am, and I have been here….
Shaunda Holloway’s own words best summarize the essence of both her work and life; the New Haven artist’s mixed-media prints and collages depict the artist’s passion for and use of material process as a vehicle for exploration of emotional states alongside personal and cultural identity. Block and screen prints on wood, linen, and found objects are combined with paint resulting in rich, immediate, and raw imagery that reflect on concepts of presence and representation -- as the artist herself states, “I am here, here I am, and I have been here.” Words are integral to Holloway’s overall creative practice, whether combined in her visual artwork or as part of her poetry or spoken word -- all providing fertile poetic ground for the artist to tell her own story.
