“Lauren Riojas-Fitzpatrick makes art about life, an ever-fluctuating place of joy, anger, and fear, containment and infinity, everything and nothing. Riojas-Fitzpatrick uses a multidisciplinary approach to creating artwork, often using drawing, painting, collage and site-specific installation as modes of communicating. In Mending Wall: A Relic of Truth, Riojas-Fitzpatrick uses a gabion wall as a primary source of inspiration. This type of wall is created by the elemental material of wire manipulated into a cage-like form, that is in turn filled with stones – the wall is permeable by air, water, sight, and sound, yet still evokes a physical barrier. The gabion wall is a metaphor for the counterintuitive nature in the notion of two separate, distinct sides – that is rather a singular space hinged by a psychological construct.”
