Fifield-Perez is an artist whose 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.
