tinola mayfield-guerrero--photography/mixed media art
In my work I use embodiment, memory and the act of witnessing to collect, discuss and remember what is, what was and what might be. There are no answers... The overarching themes: Life is transitory. Moments are fleeting. Art becomes an extension of memory, an archive for experience and a way to encourage dialogue.

Using found objects, photography and encaustic; my work captures the contradictions that surround our existence: love/hate, birth/death, beauty/ugliness, horror/peace, intimacy/ loneliness. I also explore substance and impermanence. My work is informed by feminist theory and philosophy and is concerned with questions of gender, questions of the body, questions of existence, notions of beauty and questions of being.
