Anita Silvestri

We live in a world that bombards us with constant images of natural and manmade disasters - wars, diseases, droughts, floods, famines, earthquakes, tornados, fires, pollution of our air, land, and water - mixed with multiple conflicting solutions. My art explores our choices in that complex world. Using collage I am able to fix in place some of those constantly changing images. By overlapping,distorting,hiding and revealing common images from magazines, advertisements, and photos I create strange yet familiar landscapes inviting viewers to focus on the questions and problems these images suggest.
