“Cantora” Collage

Lorna Fernandez is a Zamboangueña artist known for her assemblages and collages involving found objects, industrial items, and recycled materials. She also works in the field of painting. In the 1990s, Lorna emerged as a self-taught artist who displayed a passion for surreal self-portraits and paintings of flora. This developed into an exploration of the interplay between sexuality and domesticity and expanded her media to include constructivist sculptures, clay figures, cloth dolls, and wall-hung assemblages. Her works have been featured in numerous exhibitions in Manila, Baguio, Davao, Gensan, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, Venice, Hong Kong, and Bologna, among others.
