Alejandra Arias Sevilla: Borderings features new works by Alejandra Arias Sevilla made during her 2024 Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellowship at Dieu Donné, New York. It includes a selection of handmade paper works that are based on shadows of window grates and are grounded in the artist’s ongoing exploration of shadows, translucency, translation, and the color blue.
