Sandra Mayo Sees the Power of Art Everywhere

By Judy Bolton-Fasman for JewishBoston

Local artist Sandra Mayo interprets personal and social traumas in innovative exhibits.

The word that surfaces when considering Sandra Mayo’s evocative, social justice-inspired art is “interconnectivity.” It’s a word that Mayo has contemplated throughout her creative life. In a recent conversation with JewishBoston, the Argentinian-born artist said the Jewish values of “Love your neighbor as yourself,” shalom bayit (peace and internal calm emanating from the home) and tikkun olam (repairing the world) profoundly inspire her.

In anticipation of her JLive appearance with Jewish Arts Collaborative on Friday, Aug. 20, Mayo generously explored the art of the genogram in its micro and macro iterations with JewishBoston. “My family stories represent the micro level of my work,” she said. “I started small, working with the genogram of my family, and then other families. I then took social traumas to the macro level.”
