Mixed Media (2020-Ongoing)
Deploying strategies of creative re-appropriation, I’ve explored ways to integrate collage into various mediums. Using embroidery, illustration and painting with collaged elements I have developed an understanding of the ways that imagery can be manipulated to create emotion.
Road To Nowhere (2021) Collage, watercolor, spray paint, antique stamps and illustration
Noelle and Mr. Cheeseball (2022) Screen print on watercolor paper
Waiting with Flowers (2023) Watercolor and illustration
See it in Color (2023) Watercolor, illustration and collage
Cone head (2022) Illustration, collage, oil pastel, spray paint, watercolor and antique stamps
Second Hand Memory (2022) Acrylic paint, watercolor, illustration, collage and paint markers
Gestalt Collage
2023-Ongoing
Gestalt Collage is a new style of collage work I have been experimenting with recently. Through Gestalt collage I hope to decontextualize the original images from their sources similarly to how Pinterest and other social media tend to do but show appreciation for the sources through the time intensive medium of quilting.
