Destiney Map Collage

Collage, to me, is the most democratic art practice one can create. It is political, accessible and spiritual. My collage work is a stream of conscience practice, that allows me to explore narratives that emerge after each piece is completed. My appropriation of each image gives me the power to show my very personal point of view with a myriad of synchronicities and codes visual language. I created the term “The Art Engineer” to remind myself of the power artists have to “engineer” and show the possibilities of a self defined reality. By creating conversation about identity and pop-culture's excess, my work becomes a mirror that reflects the familiar in altered perspectives.
