Felicia Dadak’s Artist Portfolio<\/h2>\n

Felicia Dadak speaks about the fragments she uses in her collages as rescued images. As a child, she would watch her mother paint and save her drawings in a drawer. The stories she tells taps themes of love and loss, memory and nostalgia. This sentimental romantic heroism is tempered with an astute sense of composition and the ability to build series of work that interrogate an idea with visual and conceptual rigor.<\/p>\n

Equally minimal is her series \u201cNat Geo\u201d, where Dadak combines scenes from <\/em>National Geographic with geometric shapes. In doing this, she liberates the images from their documentarian, narrative contexts and employs them in new stories.<\/em><\/h2>\n
