ABOUT THE ARTWORK
My current interest is in symbolism that has changed its meaning and place in the digital age. Recognizable in any language and across the majority of cultures, @ has changed from a seldom used symbol to one of great value in the digital media posting age. This piece uses a collaged printed copy of Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Book of Etiquette (circa 1960s), referencing specifically the section on writing letters- ie communicating- to juxtapose the loss of grace in how we address each other. Old handwirtten invitations, announcements and correspdondence also provide reference to the lack of modern cordial communication.

Intuitively evolved, emerging artist. My art has advanced through practice, study and patience. I divide my time between two mediums, digital and encaustic collage where often the boundaries intersect in one artistic statement. Layers of imagery, line and pigment are my tools. Time invested in the mediums has been my teacher. My current focus is on communication in the digital media age with particular attention to symbols that have emerged with new meaning and popularity in the common vernacular. Universal symbolism of everyday use contrasted with antiquated printed media portends to the loss of civility and distrust in the current misinformation moment. Using ASCII to Binary conversions of simple phrases layered with color symbolism and phrasing, I tell a contemporary tale of nationalism amid a desensitized public.
