About the Item

Monica DeSalvo’s “This is a Leaky Place” is a 36 x 24 inch surreal collage on watercolor paper. A digital montage of two photos in opposite orientations show illuminated cloudy skies above industrial shipping cranes on the Savannah River with tones of orange, pink, light blue, gray, and black. Abstract imagery includes remnants of DeSalvo’s late father’s paper memorabilia (such as the handwritten lists of numbers, graph and ledger paper, and a military ship) and her own monotypes and drawings on these surfaces. There is a wide white border on the left and right of the unframed work, and the title and signature are written below the image. Monica DeSalvo is a Boston-based mixed-media artist and designer with a BFA in Visual Design from the University of Massachusetts. Her work has been featured in juried and invitational exhibitions and publications such as Suboart, Juniper Rag, and Artscope magazines. In 2024, she participated in her first artist residency at the Kolaj Institute in Sanquhar, Scotland. Her 2023 solo show, A Bus Tour in the Woods: Visual Duets with Her Father, was held at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, and she was interviewed for the Dementia Spring Foundation’s Artist Spotlight. Monica lives and works in Arlington, MA. She is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston.
