Information provided by the Artist: Fidencio Fifield-Perez was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, but raised in the US after his family migrated. His current work examines borders, edges, and the people who must traverse them. In his work, Fifield-Perez’s interdisciplinary practice centers the materiality of paper ephemera, everyday self- documents discarded after having fulfilled their purpose. For Fifield-Perez, printmaking, collage, and painting are ways to visualize and connect mental landscapes of past and present. Fifield-Perez received his BFA from Memphis College of Art and an MA & MFA from The University of Iowa. He has exhibited at multiple institutions including The Cleveland Museum of Art, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, International Print Center New York. He has completed artist residencies at The Studios at MASS MoCA, Ox-Bow, ACRE, Crosstown Arts, and the Galveston Artist Residency, among others.
