Helen Cozza is a contemporary artist living in New Mexico who began working as a painter and moved into printmaking. Prevalent in her work is the use of the grid and the patterns created by weaving. The imagery is reminiscent of the environmental deterioration that Cozza observed in Buffalo and Cleveland where she lived for many years. Cozza knew at a young age that she was a lesbian and her work clearly speaks to her identity. Her work demands close inspection to see the marks of difference beneath the surface. (Contains 5 images.)
