Erica Bryant

Artist Statement

I make art because I believe we all should try to create something beautiful in the world. Or odd. Or interesting. In some of my work, I pay homage to my ancestors by adorning their photographs. I am also inspired by dreams, and believe that the dream world is as real as the waking one. I make all of my collages out of cast of National Geographic magazines, because they have the best colors and creatures and photographs.
