America Is Not the Heart "illuminates the violent political history of the Philippines in the 1980s and 1990s and the insular immigrant communities that spring up in the suburban United States with an uncanny ear for the unspoken intimacies and pain that get buried by the duties of everyday life and family ritual. Castillo delivers a powerful, increasingly relevant novel about the promise of the American dream and the unshakable power of the past.. With exuberance, muscularity, and tenderness, here is a family saga; an origin story; a romance; a narrative of two nations and the people who leave home to grasp at another, sometimes turning back."

I am inspired by the life rhythms & constant flow of everything around me. Everyday I am surrounded by mass cultures, bustling streets, speeding traffic, old buildings being torn down & transformed into modern skyscrapers all juxtaposed in an energetic wave of souls. I observe subtle moments of beauty in transition, building layers of a fragmented reality evolving over time. My view of the world is a product of the past colliding with the present, a fractured moment in time breaking into the now. In search of balance between madness & calmness, I evolve harsh city streets & sharp edge buildings into industrial grace. I aim to expose the emotional side of human beings in the city streets, pushing the final image into abstraction & reconstructing a new utopia. My artwork is greatly inspired by the world, but hidden between the layers is a narrative of dynamic life.

Camille Hoffman's current work is a mixed-media meditation on Manifest Destiny and its representation in the romantic American landscape. Reflecting on the embedded and latent meanings around light, nature, the frontier, borders, race, gender and power in influential American landscape paintings of the 19th century, she uses materials collected from her everyday life, including holiday-themed tablecloths, discarded medical records, nature calendars, plastic bags and paint, to craft imaginary landscapes that are grounded in accumulation, personal narrative and historical critique. Her paintings and installations are layered geographies, in which these fragments of cultural objects are chromatically twisted and blended into complex wholes. Taking inspiration from the Philippine weaving and the Jewish folk traditions of her ancestors, along with traditional landscape painting techniques from her academic training, she interweaves image with refuse in order to reveal seamless yet textured transcultural contradictions. Disrupting visual perception, her scraps of materials take on new life, becoming a vehicle of territorial reclamation and spiritual agency for the artist amid the pressures of economic and political globalization in the anthropocene.
