Mixed Media
Size: 6 x 6
Framed Size: 12 x 12
This group of woven mixed media works employs photography as a base to evoke the passage of time and obfuscation of memories through the use of weaving techniques. In order to do this, I must first deconstruct the photograph by cutting it into thin strips to create a new work. Weaving creates patterns on the surface and below the surface. I use pattern to evoke memory and I want the viewer to connect with their own personal histories and intuition. The subjects that I work with come from a personal collection of photographs of family, anonymous subjects and images of famous artists and writers. All are chosen based on either my connection with the subject on a personal level or from having an emotional response to the photograph. Often the vintage-looking subjects and the intricacy of weaving create a very tactile effect that both abstracts and restores attributes of the original image while referencing the idea of “women’s work,” a subject that is close to home.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
