The Dandy Artwork

This is a collection of paintings that combines watercolor, specialty paper, tea bags, newspaper, texture mediums, sand, ink—you get the idea. What I am exploring lately is collaging faces using a wide variety of mediums. I work on the "edge," taking the two-dimensional format and expanding it or pushing its limits and playing with people's expectations of those limits. I mount the collage onto foam board leaving a border that creates a frame. This frame is then incorporated into the artwork itself. The frame is not something that is added later, is external to and "confines" the piece. My aim is to create a piece of art that remains open to the viewer to fully enjoy the texture and to continue to be witness to the steps in the creative process. The work remains a part of the living world, organic and not sealed and set inside a time capsule. The media are charcoal, ink, specialty paper, Thai Marbled Momi Paper, and fixative. I used Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Vellum Paper 100 lb and the original is 14 x 17 inches before framing.
