"We had teachers that were very prejudice, and wouldn't call our names in classrooms...we named our dog after him."    -Flora Blackledge
 

My grandparents' stories of courage, resilience, and activism has resonated strongly with me and how I live in this world and I wanted to keep their stories alive through my own work. This is a part of a series of collages that visually symbolize the quotes that strongly resonated most with me. I explore storytelling of my grandparents through the manipulation of magazines, newspapers, maps, archival images and any other paper products I can get my hands on.
