Statement about the videos presented in the show
My videos are a “carnet de voyage” through childhood. I am taking notes (videotaping) on a regular basis. My background is socio-political graphic design but when I became a mother, it was obvious to me that one of the strangest and most interesting thing was happening right there in my house. So I decided to watch and videotape. I have two boys, they are usually willing to let me enter their space, sometimes it is them who ask me to videotape something specific.
I am using different medium in my work, both traditional and nontraditional: video, photography, murals, paintings, drawings, digital prints. My videos are often included in large scale installations where “here” (embodied by my close family) is put in perspective with “there” (represented by events happening in the world).

9 collages on envelopes
Today I’ve sent 9 envelopes (9×12″ – 23x31cm) to the French nonprofit organization “Une vie un Arbre” which organizes each year an exhibition of mail art: “Festival d’Art Postal” in Vienne, France. The envelopes are for sale and the money goes to help children who are very ill.
The series I have sent is made of torn pieces of tissue paper and origami paper.
My friends Eric Meyer and Ivan Sigg have sent envelopes that you can see on their blogs. They will be special guests and present at the exhibition in Vienne, along with Christiane Berti, Sylvie Graindorge, Agnès Lachard, Evelyne Lanno, Eni Looka, Mariette.

Private collection
I donated a piece for the Museum School Art Auction. It is not something I am doing often. I like this cause: 100% of the proceeds benefit the Arts Programs of The Museum School. I made the piece specially for the auction, like I did last year.
From the Museum School Website:
“A fun event that brings local and national artists together to help benefit the arts programming at the Museum School. Having raised an average of $12,000 at this event each year, the Museum School reaches out to local and national artists for donation of work to be auctioned off to local patrons and art lovers. We look forward to the support of Jett Gallery in the organizing of this exciting event.”

Stories heard
from female friends
from women I’ve met
during my travels.
Stories I’ve read,
novels and news,
from everywhere.
“What Women Want” is an exploration of what women desire out of life, personally, socially, and politically. This multimedia art exhibition is linked thematically to San Diego REPertory Theatre’s presentation of “In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play,” March 19-April 17 on the Lyceum Stage. This comedy by Sarah Ruhl, directed by Sam Woodhouse, is about the politics of desire and sexuality, and is set in the Victorian Era.

San Diego CITYBEAT group Exhibition / February 24 – March 1, 2011
Alexander Salazar Fine Art, San Diego.
“CityBeat has been showcasing local artists on our cover for years and no one has ever taken the initiative to put together an exhibition. I’m excited that Alexander Salazar Fine Art—the Energizer Bunny of the local art scene—took an interest in our covers and decided to spend the energy to put together this show. I think the breadth and depth of the San Diego art scene will finally be shown off in an awesome way, and I hope Alexander decides to make this a big annual event.”
—Kinsee Morlan, arts editor, San Diego CityBeat
