Juried into The Upcycle Art Challenge (Art League of Baytown, Baytown, TX, Aug. 25 - Sept. 21, 2023)
Year: 2023
Medium: Acrylic, papier mâché, and mixed media collage on (thrifted) wood board, with (broken) polystyrene frame
Size: 34(ish) x 31 x 4.5 inches
Out of the Woodwork brings together discarded remnants—twist ties, scrap fabric, empty drink cans, even the dried acrylic paints scraped off my palette—into a composition as old as time: a woman, posed against a veritable cornucopia of foliage and flowers. But this woman is no silent, ornamental receptacle: she leans out of her world into ours, eyes urgent and lips parted, ready to speak her piece.
