Mixed media collage
5” x 7” matted and framed in silver to 9.5” x 11.25”
Inspired by the poem is it too late by gwynneth green
 
is it too late
 
throw me line
i’ve fallen once more
the rabbit hole
it’s deeper than ever
lined with
barbs and thorns
reopening wounds
that had been stitched
but never totally healed 
oozing memories
that i thought
had been replaced 
is it too late
to avoided
the pain 
is it too late
to call for help 
is it too late
to mend these scars  
is it too late
to be saved
throw me line

ARTISTS STATEMENT
 
My narrative mixed media sculptures and collages incorporate found objects and depict provocative themes. I address environmental and societal toxicity through 3D "cautionary tales" about contemporary issues. The incorporation of discarded, manufactured litter "litter"-ally illustrates these tales. I work in various media, including collage, painting, and sculpture. The characters and settings are iconic and range from prehistoric to futuristic - strange and fabulous creatures and animals, fossilized dinosaurs, mythical unicorns, aliens and humans or just body parts. Most of my sculptures feature my handmade clay and plaster figures built upon bits of metal or rock, along with salvaged materials that may be left as is or manipulated through carving and painting. They are then integrated into conceptual diorama settings with trompe l'oeil or surrealistic backgrounds which become powerful assemblages imbued with spirituality and raw emotion.
