Jill Paz, Dusk, 11.5" x 15.25"
Medium: Acrylic on laser-carved cardboard
Dimensions: 11.5” x 15.25” x 1.5” framed
Year: 2023
Jill Paz’s mixed media paintings vividly portray lush tropical landscapes. Crafted with photography, painting, and laser-etching technology, Paz’s works are borne out of puncturing and etching delicate layers on cardboard. She uses balikbayan boxes as charged symbols of the diasporic experience. The term "balikbayan," meaning "one who returns home," holds significance as these humble cardboard boxes are intimately woven into the lives of Filipino migrants. Paz uses photographed and sketched palm trees as archetypal yet unstable signifiers of the exotic. She situates them within a tenuous grid, and her squares jostle with hesitation. Her palm trees are frozen in motion, provisional, situated between suggestion and statement.
