Collage Portfolio

A collage over a background of black lace, studded with googly eyes and bright red lipstick kisses. In center, a spatchcocked chicken, with the words "how do you want me?" floating above it in cursive. Also scattered around: a melting pink popsicle, a tube of lipstick, a stiletto heel, a cigarette, and a puddle of what appears to be ejaculate.
“how do you want me?” (2023)
A self-portrait collage. The artist's head in the center: a young woman with a dark pixie cut, bright red lips, bold brows, and bags beneath her eyes. She is surrounded by blue and red paper creating a series of overlapping "frames." Above and below her, text that appears to be cut from different sources reads "Frame This."
“Frame This” (2022)
The Puerto Rican Flag hung vertically. The central star is missing, and the blue triangle has been fragmented. The red stripes have been looped and curled upwards, mimicking blood dribbling down.
“¡Que Bonita Bandera!” (2022)
An orange paper "spine" with a curl of red paper in its center making a sort of heart. Pink curlicues of paper extend from the opening of the heart. Six gray "ribs" emerge from the spine and wrap protectively around the heart.
“Open-Heart Orchid” (2022)
An abstract pink collage with large horizontal gaps missing, which have been curled around the edges. Rainbow stripes and a few colorful spirals and swirls take up the center. A large black X features on the most-exposed pink section on the right. On the left, a sort of staircase feature emerges upwards off the page, but leads nowhere. It is also blocked off by a pink spiral arm in front of it.
“Girlboss Boot Camp” (2022)
An abstract collage on a yellow background, with lots of blue triangles on the right side and pink rectangles on the left. The right side also features a dark green coil lifting off the page and two lime green lines meeting in a y-shape in the upper corner. The left side also features a pleated red line, a dark orange spiral, a dark orange circle, and a light orange diagonal stripe.
“Boom!” (2022)

Masks (2022)

A series which makes literal the metaphor of “masking” neurodivergent traits, using five masks to explore the ways the artist compensates for her ADHD in public.

A mask. Blue paper face with a pattern of lemon branches. Eyes made from white paper daisies. Mouth shape cut from white paper with the word "hooray" written on it in black cursive. Whole mask is surrounded by uneven yellow striped rays.
Loudmouth (2022)
A mask. The face is woven from newsprint and paper reading "congratulations" over and over. The eyes are made of paper victory ribbons. The lips are bright red, and pursed.
Type A (2022)
A mask of swirling red paper, with an eye mask of pink paper saying "baby girl" and other cutesy slogans. White eyes filled with blue tears, and a mouth covered by what looks like duct tape (but is actually paper!)
Mother Martyr (2022)
A mask made of black paper with white star constellations on it. The upper left corner is covered by blue-and-white scale-patterned paper. The right eye is visible and made of winter-berry patterned black paper. It cries one blue tear. The mouth is made from sheet music.
Tortured Poet (2022)
A mask of beige paper with thin horizontal eggshell stripes, entirely gray eyes, and a small red mouth.
The Invisible Woman (2022)
