Mixed Media and Collages
I like to combine medias as a way to emphasize, enhance, and experiment with my work by adding different and new elements. Collaging, physical and digital collaging, is just a favorite pass time of mine as well.
Global warming is something I continue to discuss in my art work. It’s a cause that’s very important to me, and something I want to dedicate my time to now, and even more in the future after I graduate. This specific project was also something that I made during Covid for my Advanced Photography class.
The project was whatever we chose to do, and with all of the time on my hands I wanted to do something bigger than what we usually did in class. The photos are from a pier in the U.P., and once I developed them I really wanted to do something to make it more than just a few photos. I often tend to lean more towards mixed media.
As part of another school assignment, I had to research the well known LGBTQIA+ activist and author, Leslie Feinburg. I wanted to include them here because LGBTQIA+ rights is a cause that is very important to me. One way I like to express, and inform people about queer rights and experiences through my art. Feinburg has become a major inspiration for me since I read their book Stone Butch Blues, a very emotional and traumatic narrative about the queer community in the 1950s and on.
