PARIS ON PONCE
by Ouizi
Compelled to make things her entire life, Ouizi studied drawing and printmaking at UC Santa Cruz, but does a bit of everything—often trading her brush for power tools, Gorgeous Artgirl says, to work on large-scale construction / fabrication projects. Moving to Detroit in 2014 Detroit Free Press reports that her practice has flourished and, reflecting her fabrication background, her “botanical-themed street art offers the surreal perspective of zooming in on the floral pattern of a textile print that has been wrapped around a building.” On the back of the Paris On Ponce art and antique boutiques, overlooking Atlanta’s Eastside Beltline Trail at the hipster intersection of the Old Fourth Ward and Virginia Highlands Ouizi’s 2017 floral mural—created for the OuterSpace Project—is fast becoming one of the hottest selfie sites in Atlanta. @ouizi @parisonponce @gorgeousartgirl @detroitfreepress @outerspaceproject
