Artist Statement
Working to juxtapose common items of refuse is the focal point of my collage/assemblages, an exciting arena of evolution and exploration for me. I consistently sneak my experience as a weaver into new works playing within the straight line grid that weaving so brilliantly employs.
I love using mixed media to create abstract imagery. I also love to explore the visual wonders of scavenged objects, discarded household fabrics and plastics that beg for a last dance in life.
The materials speak to me in different ways so the work is continually evolving and what you see today may be very different from you see a month from now. So please stay tuned, this is all a work in progress.
Most of the cloth in these works has been woven, dyed, painted, and stiffened. All of papers have been painted, stripped, folded and intermixed with cloth. Metal, rubber, and plastic have been scavenged, cleaned, oxidized, and painted or coated. The paints are unwanted house colors, watercolors, fabrics paints, and cold water dyes.
Only the frames are new.
