Lauren DiCioccio (Present)

Lauren DiCioccio is a NY based artist and attended Colgate University in Hamilton, NY. DiCioccio makes different sorts of installations and social commentary works. One thing in particular that she makes are embroidered New York Times newspapers of mass media figures. By doing this, DiCioccio makes a social commentary that mass media has drifted mostly to television and we do not get us much from newspapers anymore. Thus, she embroiders visually powerful images of mass media figures onto the newspapers, such as Lady Gaga who is shown below. She has displayed her work in galleries all over the US.
