Visual Art – Minneapolis
I’m compelled to tell stories and engage the viewer to think about their own lives through myths, masks, or memories; many of them are self-portraits. Most of my work involves human engagement, social issues, and the awareness of human frailty, including my own. I create highly textured objects, yarn sculpture, collage, assemblage, and books. For the second Medium of Exchange: Art of Cash exhibit, I created a series of collages exploring a social issue involving sex and money: women are their bodies and men are their wallets. This direct or subconscious thinking objectifies both sexes and limits human potential.
Music from popular culture was used to create the titles in this 4-part series: Material Girl, Sugar Daddy, Mr. Right, Money-That's What I Want
