Gallery Night featuring Angela Bolaños

Artist Statement:

“My process-driven creative practice makes use of textiles, reflective surfaces, found objects, traditional media and experimental techniques. Inspired by organic shapes often juxtaposed with geometric shapes, patterns and paper collage, the physicality of my work seduces the viewer with its rich texture, ebullient colors and expressive movement. 

The creative journey of my work represents physical expressions of my continuous search into concepts of self- identity, cognitive psychology, perception, and the passing of time.

The gathering, sorting, and patterning of ideas are integral to the development of her process. This psychological convergence is a constant communal collaboration.”
