The Brooklyn College Library Collection. Gift of Alberto Marcos Bursztyn.

In my Grandmother’s Workshop. Mixed media, dressmaker mannequin, maps (dress), seismographic chart (belt), threads (necklace). “Made of strips of maps from the world over, the dress inflects the idea that it brings all places into one. It’s a way to honor memory, as paper maps themselves are becoming memory,” Bursztyn says.

I plumb personal and collective memories and explore psychological meanings of inventive juxtapositions that address both personal and universal human concerns.

Art-making is a continuous and vital thread in my life. Beyond academic training, the lived experience of crossing multiple national, cultural, and linguistic boundaries informs my creative work.
