The borderline between the personal and political
by De Luna, Celeste, M.F.A., THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS - PAN AMERICAN, 2009, 43 pages; 1468395

Abstract:

This paper is a documentation of the form, content, techniques, and processes of the body of visual artwork I created for my M.F.A. graduate coursework. My work frequently uses themes based on the migrant/border experiences of women, children, and families throughout generations in the context of the larger American experience. My acrylic paintings on canvas, assemblages and installations validate Latino/Chicano experiences and invites reflection and learning. My work is influenced and relates to contemporary Chicano and Post-Chicano Art, Feminist Art, and the writings of Gloria A. Anzaldúa.
