"The Changed Landscape," original collage, 20" x 16"

My hairdresser and my health practitioner have both decided to quit, leaving me feeling abandoned. I'm also sad that some of the businesses I like have closed. What will the new landscape look like? The "Surviving Lockdown" collages were created in response to the experience of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown. Before the pandemic, I was creating large, flowing abstract paintings. With lockdown, my world suddenly shrunk, and I felt like I wanted to work small. I had a large collection of old magazines, and decided to use them for collage. I layered images to make abstract designs that documented my observations and feelings about the coronavirus crisis. Sustainability is an important part of my artistic practice, and each one-of-a-kind collage is created using images and text cut from discarded magazines. I also incorporate other mediums including enamel paint, tulle netting, colored pencil and graphite. Allow an extra 10 days for framing. 20" x 16" original collage collage on ca
