AND I FEEL FINE / Y ME SIENTO BIEN

"And I Feel Fine / Y Me Siento Bien" is a series of hand-embroidered, painted and drawn mixed material artworks of migrants traveling to and across the US-Mexico border juxtaposed with people during and after mass shootings. Each artwork takes four to six months to produce. The series was begun in 2019 and is ongoing until 22 are completed.
