SUMMARY:Anastasia Sierra Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us at WinCam Gallery on July 24th\, 5.30pm - 7pm\, for an artist
  reception with Anastasia Sierra to celebrate her solo exhibition\,
  Bittersweet. Sierra's intimate project explores the emotional
  complexity of motherhood through colorful staged portrait photogrphy. 
 
 About Bittersweet - 
 
 Bittersweet is an ongoing body of work about the conflicting emotions
  of motherhood\, where love and joy live next to the feelings of
  frustration\, guilt and exhaustion. 
 
 I collaborate with my young son to recreate moments of tenderness and
  tension. Together\, we make a colorful and mysterious world of our
  own\, using light and shadow as a metaphor\, with our lives bright and
  colorful on the outside and piles of laundry\, dirty dishes and some
  of the darker feelings obscured by the shadows. 
 
 I make these images to remember his chubby thighs and what it's like
  to touch his skin and feel the weight of his body while I can still
  carry him. I photograph our love and nightmares\, with a superstitious
  hope that my fears won't materialize if I spell them out in my
  photographs. 
 
 About Anastasia Sierra -
 
 I am a portrait and fine art photographer based in Cambridge\, MA. 
 
 My work explores the themes of motherhood\, womanhood\, and the body
  from a feminist perspective. Inspired by dreams and the unseen\, I
  construct photographs that portray internal tensions - the conflicting
  emotions of motherhood\, the push and pull between the need for
  connection\, and the desire for independence. 
 
 I use photography to gain a better understanding of my own
  experiences\, and find a deeper connection with people and places I
  photograph\, employing light and color to create vivid images that
  inhabit the space between the real and the imaginary. 
 
 My work has been exhibited in the US and internationally\, most recent
  exhibitions include Kathryn Schulz Gallery in Cambridge\, MA\, the
  Photographic Resource Center\, the Griffin Museum of Photography in
  Winchester\, MA\, Vermont Center of Photography\, and Soho Gallery in
  New York. 
 
 I have a BA in Linguistics and am currently attending the Photography
  MFA program at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design\, expected
  to graduate in 2026. 
 
 The Griffin @ WinCam (Winchester Community Access and Media) is
  located at 32 Swanton Street in Winchester\, Mass. Gallery hours are
