Mixed Media: Spray Paint seen through thin, clear panel (PETG); Acrylic Medium on Canvas; Aluminum Wire 35" x 28" x 0.5" $4000

This work is a collaboration, using strips of one of my works interwoven with strips of a textural work of acrylic medium and pigment on canvas by fellow artist Elizabeth Polley. The strips of the two deconstructed paintings, chosen for their resonant color and contrasting materials and surfaces, were then interwoven with a grid created by a single length of aluminum wire—becoming a sculptural composition.

This work was created specifically to engage two artists in a spontaneous, self-defined coalition.

While I conceived and executed this work, the addition of another artist’s work was particularly enjoyable—I have always enjoyed “playmates.” 16 Contact information for this artist can be found on page 80.
