Artist statement (Jennifer Moya)

I find this artists work very effective because although they are collages of different images they still remain unified. The figures and heads are portrayed in several works within a series, much like characters in various scenes of a single drama. For each new depiction of the subject, certain modifications, such as a change in gesture, a subtle shifting of the position of a head, hand, or torso, or a different configuration of figures or heads in a group, allow the viewer to contemplate fresh perspectives.
The artists audience is anyone who cares to look.  She is very critical and plans her pieces so the view may view them in a particular way, For instance, she mentions this in her artist statement; "Evoking a sense of solitude, they are absorbed in their own isolation and rarely face the viewer.  However, I imagine them as having some kind of eventful life that takes place beyond the boundary of the canvas, and I hope the viewer is drawn in to this world and willing to contemplate its possibilities."
