- About Me:
- Bio:
Other than a couple art classes in college and one stained glass class, I am completely self taught, I create what is in me to create. I don't know where it comes from but I know it is from an energy source deep inside me that has guided me my whole life.
As long as I can remember I have been assembling life's fragments, making them whole, and making them speak to the people who see them.
My fixation on sun faces developed after I moved to Oregon, where the sun seldom shines.... I have been filling Oregon with my suns ever since, each increasingly bold, colorful and a force to be reckoned with. I simply refuse to live in gloom and darkness.
Statement:
In my artistic endeavors I specialize in putting fragments together, I quilt, I make multimedia sculpture and I create usable things out of discarded fragments, I alter books into art journals and life journals, I create spirit dolls out of forgotten fragments and bring them to life, I use textiles and fibers to 'paint' pictures of the fragments of memories that hold a place in my heart or mind, & of the inner workings of my mind, I also use fabric to convey political statements and to create visuals of the world as I see it. I reclaim furniture that someone else has discarded as having no value and give it new value in either my heart or the heart of someone else. I take old clothes, and remake or reinvent them... into something else entirely. All of this fragment reassembling and re-purposing has been a very natural path for me to travel. I believe in second chances.
My web site www.wildbohemian.com is not up right now, it is being recreated and moved to a new host, in the meantime you can visit my journal at http://dejablu503.livejournal.com/

Thanks for poking at me from this direction
