“Assise dans l’instant, armée de vieux papiers, précieux
tissus porteurs d’histoires, portraits intimes que je
transforme, mêlant familles et inconnus, j’assemble,
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.
