three vinyl collages

Materials:
Mixed media (spray paint, latex enamel, china marker, felt-tipped pens, monofilament) on vinyl

Notes to Vinyl Collages:
I have been sewing layers of clear and pigmented vinyl using anagrams, palindromes, and sentence diagrams as compositional elements. I often collage both sides of the vinyl so that the work reads recto/verso like pages in a book. The collaged fragments are stitched together with monofilament; knots and unruly skeins join the layered wordings. The vinyl works can be positioned in multiple ways - suspended from the ceiling, attached to a wall, or placed on a desktop. The viewer perceives the relationship between physical materials and words through various directions, degrees, and orders of decoding. These variables create unexpected meanings for both artist and viewer/reader alike.
