This mixed Media Piece is created with a repurposed canvas layered over with stained wall paper and fabric that has been stamped, altered wire coiled, fibers, transformed Styrofoam feather, lapis lazuli, bark and a face representing the wise woman. The boarder is created with textured joint compound that has been stained to look like aged stone and I have rubbed charcoal into the relief to make a burned effect . It is called Voice of the Wise Woman, I am She
I wanted to do something to help reduce the landfill and I believe that Green” material is the thing to use. It is amazing what you can do and what you can create through the creative transformation… I love the idea of people wearing my jewelry to make a statement for the earth. Also I love the process of creating it. I think that artist creating from found objects is similar to the ancients that created from what they found in their own environment. I am hoping that someday a piece of my art will be found and held by someone in the future who ask the same question we do when holding an ancient piece of pottery. Plastics is a new art material.. and it can be beautiful when seen through an artist’s eye..
