Using my collection of family glossy photographs to repurpose them as cutouts, original images become abstract shapes without knowing the connections once made between the faces and places. The cutouts, integrated into a support using store bought hand made paper with exposed fibers, punctuate the theme of the tragedy of sex and human trafficking in our communities, known today as modern day slavery. This art activism work has been exhibited in several WCAGA (Women’s Caucus for Art – Georgia) shows in the metro Atlanta area, including 2Rules Gallery (Marietta), Mammal Gallery (Atlanta) and The Shambhala Center (Decatur).
