HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA<\/p>\n

Angelica Paez has been making collages for about 20 years, but has always “had a love for cut & paste since childhood”. She says, ”\u00a0I am constantly experimenting with [collage] and pushing myself to create new and different work. I am currently working on layering techniques and giving my work dimension. I am also experimenting with collage on wood pieces to create some sculptural forms.”<\/p>\n

Paez’s portfolio appears in\u00a0Issue Five<\/a>\u00a0where Ariane Fairlie writes,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHouston, Texas\u201d is often inscribed on her work or included somewhere within the materials, which creates an interesting dialogue between the origins of the materials she uses and where they have come to rest, in her artwork. If they have always belonged to Houston, then it is interesting that they should remain there even in their secondary life, and if not, it is interesting that they are now stamped with the Houston identity.<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
