Collage work















A few examples of my mixed media work. This type of work is actually easiest when I am putting it
together as the final piece- constucting, painting laying it out. It is actually harder when I am gathering the photographs I have taken, other images, and found objects, that make up the art. A vision, a thought in your head that has to become a reality with mixed media are usually pretty different!
In work like this, I am basing the piece on a certain subject matter, these pieces focused on death, not of lives, but of relationships and the paths they wove and eventually ended at.
The first piece was a lot of photographs of living spaces, and intersections. The art was a narrative on divorce and hesitation of starting a relationship soon after. The second piece is a commentary on what people think they see in other's relationships, as opposed to what is there.. The third piece was actually a small coffin that opened and was about the death of a marriage, legally and spiritually. Most of my art is based on personal themes, but I feel they are universal to the viewing audience.
