This is a one of a kind piece of wearable art made for the Five and Diamond Tenth Annual Headgear Art Show and shown on June 17, 2022.

Monica Canilao has deep investment in ideas surrounding home, community, and the passage of time. These themes are delicately interwoven into her daily life and throughout her art practice. Canilao has set up her life and art  to be constantly engaged in collaborations between a revolving roster of friends and artists, as well as reserves a portion of her practice which focuses on a creative trade and barter system. Fascinated with the imprint people leave behind, Canilao creates a visual record from salvaged objects and weathered images. She combines a variety of found artifacts with mixed media to create a living history. She uses recycled materials to transform forgotten objects and familiar imagery into a personal vernacular of newborn mythology.  Her work spans from massive paper and fabric structures, site-specific installations, and murals to meticulous paintings, mixed media works, jewelry constructions, elaborate wearables, and sculptures. Through her practice and collaborations she attempts to create a visual vernacular that resonates beyond verbal and individual differences. Her vast body of diverse work compiles a living history, creating a narrative that weaves her experiences with physical remnants of past lives.
