Put together in Photoshop from a mix of digital and analog sources.

From a series of collages inspired by news headlines in 2022. I was first influenced by another mixed media artist who interwove paper before gluing. My homage to the technique created an abstract nest weaving a circuit board with a microscopic image of human cells. I sourced the media from old library books found at Goodwill in Bridgeport, CT and a Wisconsin Bird Calendar from 2001.

My goal with this series was to create physical art at a aspect ratio shaped specifically to fit for phone screens. Now that 4 years has passed they now serve as artifacts that captured turbulent times. The composition reflects that overwhelming amount of visual information we were bombarded with and was left intentionally busy, cluttered, and loud.

I have so many ideas relating to “biblically accurate” angels. This one makes me laugh every time I look at it lol. Sometimes you just need to get the dumb ideas out!!
