These photos are of folded newspapers I used to wrap my dishes when moving from Brooklyn to Santa Fe in 2010. The harsh light and shadow of the New Mexican sun struck me as something to photograph, and when I opened the folder on my desktop in the dark days of 2020 when I was isolating at home, I was inspired to print them and cut them to make abstract collages. Some page content remains, and they suggest architecture while referencing history. They are both pictorially and materially dimensional, as the folds and shadows of the images play against the folds and shadows of the paper.

Statement of Free Expression

FIU endorses the Florida Board of Governors' Statement of Free Expression to support and encourage full and open discourse and the robust exchange of ideas and perspectives on our campuses. In addition to supporting this legal right, we view this as an integral part of our ability to deliver a high-quality academic experience for our students, engage in meaningful and productive research, and provide valuable public service. This includes fostering civil and open dialogue in support of critical thinking in and out of the classroom, including events hosted by the university.
