TINA LA PORTA
Tina La Porta
ARTIST STATEMENT
Tina La Porta’s mixed-media creations illustrate her very personal battle with schizophrenia, the mental illness with which she was diagnosed in 2009. Her work illustrates a continuous thread of inquiry into struggles that are hiding in plain view. Her beautiful and, at times, disquieting work incorporates her body, her perceptions, and even her medications.
