Serrah Russell began

Serrah Russell began making collages in 2016 after Donald Trump was elected president of the U.S. “Shocked and angry,” as she writes in the introduction to her new book, “tears tears,” she turned to her studio practice to channel her grief. Soon, she was “transforming each day’s experience into a nightly collage.” The work in “tears tears” is the result of reconstructing the news and the outrage, the sadness and fear, of the 45th presidency into a single collage 100 times in a row. The daily routine “became an act of meditation, a ritual for reflection and a place to speak,” writes Russell. Follow the link in our bio to see images from her book on #PDNPOTD.
