A self portrait collage made of Gelli printed papers, with an altered photo of a woman with outstretched arms, naked, and in a jacket that has sleeves that appear to be wings. She is rendered in buff and black paint, and red and white wallpaper. She has what appears to be a halo of red and white behind her head. She has a peregrine falcon on one outstretched had, and also holds a small falcon mask in that hand. She is against and looking over a ground of abstract building shapes in multiple colors. There are four text boxes arranged around her, comic-book style, that read "The hero is, by virtue of her sex, made, unmade, and made over again", "Crucified, resurrected, uplifted, empowered" "By her city, despite her city, of her city" "She is her city".
Hello Bluesky!
Say hello to this textile & collage artist! I am a woman, I am woke, and I am a feminist, a nature fan, and a lover of lush materials.
"She Is Her City" is a collage self portrait created from Gelli plate prints, antique wallpaper, a photocopy, acrylic paint, ink, and charcoal.
