| | Mixed media: Collection of work on social justice and human righ My mixed media work uses a wide range of materials layered onto canvas. I begin most pieces by bonding paper onto canvas. After that I add materials that vary from barbed wire to silk organza. Other materials I use include found objects, leather, cardboard, gold leaf, playing cards, postage stamps, razor blades, gravel, acrylic caulk, wire, nails, string, photographs, sand, sketches, rags, beads and more.
Most of my collage work to date has focused on social justice issues that call out to many of us in some manner. My artwork on social justice is not intended to be 'pretty'. It's intended to make people think. If my work makes you think, I consider it a success. |
