By revisiting these old negatives from my past, I’ve been tinkering with memories. I take the good, the bad and the long forgotten to create pieces to remind us of how memories shape us, and also how we can control and manipulate memories into something positive. I’m upcycling photos and negatives, but also my past.
Artist Name: Donna Catanzaro
Medium: Sculpture Mixed Media
Dimensions: 36x40x36″
Artist Statement:
I create to amuse, entertain, and inspire myself and the viewer. Lately I’ve been experimenting in different mediums. I’m up-cycling items I was going to throw away and making them into mixed media sculptures. I’m making books and pop-up books. And during the pandemic I rediscovered drawing. My art practice is evolving, growing, and spreading. Why not try something new? Why not look at the creative process in a new way?
