Always Collage

Pulling from the artist’s personal archive of family photographs, Lopez’s current body of work seeks to embody the history of her Puerto Rican, Chinese, and New York roots but also to actively rewrite that family legacy. By adding color where there is none, by scrawling 2016 campaign slogans over lines poetry written by a relative, or by using everyday objects to disrupt the historical image, Lopez complicates familiar immigrant narratives, rewriting them to reveal how popular and historical imagery intersect to shape personal and cultural identity. Her own idiosyncratic disruptions suggest that these are ongoing processes informed by loss, trauma, humor, and love that together result in the complexity of lived experience.
