Marisa DeLuca (She/Her) is a post-contemporary artist working in painting, drawing, and photography. Her practice examines intersections between time, memory, impermanence, and critical theory. She received her BA in Visual Arts (Studio) from UCSD in 2021 and is currently pursuing her MFA at San Diego State University's School of Art + Design. Sourcing original photographs from the Oceanside Historical Society's archives and incorporating materials from dismantled antique homes Marisa will continue to investigate the origins of cycles of disappearance and remnant from a new angle - anchored in the city she loves. Marisa continues her creative research into memory and forgetting, permanence and catastrophic change in this limited series, transubstantiating the charred remains of the home located at 610 Minnesota Avenue into reliquary paintings. Marisa’s Artist Occupancy runs from June 6, 2023 to July 15, 2023 with variable open studios opportunities Tuesday - Thursday, 8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. A closing exhibition is planned for 7/15/23 at 5:00 p.m. Stay Connected on Social Media Marisa DeLuca: Instagram Backfence Society: Facebook / Instagram
