Mixed Media on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed on the back.
This is a surface made from paper tiles, assembled carefully by hand for their unique detail as captured in magazines. There's a flurry of information here, and the central figure is attempting to zoom in on just one. It is hard to achieve a clear, focused image. I've used a paint wash on top of the collage and it's worked great here to illuminate the heart of this collage.
I love working with found materials, reusing old magazines and rescuing their innards from being added to landfill. This work is influenced by the urge to hoard and repurpose magazines and the art of mosaic.
