Detail of “Coiffe” (glass painting/photogram) by Cecile Perra

“Assise dans l’instant, armée de vieux papiers, précieux
tissus porteurs d’histoires, portraits intimes que je
transforme, mêlant familles et inconnus, j’ass
emble,
je couds, je peins, je gratte…”
Cecile Perra

“Seated in the moment, armed with old papers, precious fabrics carrying stories, intimate portraits that I transform, mixing families and unknown, I assemble, I sew, I paint, I scratch…”  –Cecile Perra  (Please forgive the translation.)

For many, December consists of meeting after meeting with collages of people.  Images and memories laid over philosophy and politics and ultimately framed as a family member.  Pieces and parts, both good & bad.  Part fiction, part reality; the difference is hard to distinguish.  The work of Cecile Perra, today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, mirrors that patchwork progenitor that each of ponders across the table.
