Why is this piece your Trace Fossil?
“As artists, everything we create is a trace, including our own identities. There is no me on a page, merely reflections of who I was at the time of creation. My collages are special because they are composed of many pieces of myself – letters I have received, poetry I ripped out of magazines, paintings I never finished, pictures that gripped my attention. A collage is the epitome of mind traces, and she is a fossil of who I was, once upon a time.”
G.R. Ariadne is a writer and artist from the Jersey Shore. With her B.A. and M.A. in English and Honors in Creative Writing from the University of Pennsylvania, she has dedicated the past several years to crafting fantasy and women’s fiction, in addition to exploring experimental drama. In her work, she seeks to embody the spirit of William Burroughs: “All writing is in fact cut-ups. A collage of words read, heard overheard. What else?” Her writing and art have been published in Apricity Magazine, 34th St Magazine, The F-Word Literary Magazine, Quake Literary Magazine, Crossings: Swarthmore Undergraduate Feminist Research Journal, and Moonstone Arts Center's New Voices Anthology. Her plays have been performed by the UPenn Arts Winter One Acts Festival and Philly Fringe's Alternative Theatre Festival, and one is currently being produced in the New York Theater Festival.
