Title: this song is dedicated to all the late bloomers and old souls
Dimensions: 6 1/3" x 9 3/4
Date: 2012
Materials: Discarded book cover, paper, gouache, typewriter

My collages express my thoughts on the ambiguity of my ethnicity and female body, and my opinions on the looming, sexual status of the female other.

In these works I am coming to terms with the white female sexuality and/or hierarchy [with the contradiction of my own white and non-white lineage as a backdrop], which is depicted in mainstream western media.

Collage has always been of interest to me since I first saw Picasso’s works when I was in Art School. The simplicity of shapes, combined with simple line, got to the essence of a subject in a way realist painting can’t.
Since then, as I’ve progressed through various media in my own art journey, this notion has become more embedded in my way of thinking. 
While it may be regarded as ‘contemporary’, collage is really not so modern. It has been around in some form since the invention of paper. Making it ‘modern’ though is the incorporation of contemporary materials such as plastic, or acrylics, and components of our high tech age.
To be able to add such personal things as the ephemera of daily life, tickets, old rusty stuff, bits of previous paintings, gives truth to the work and adds a real connection to the artist. In this way collage will continue to have its place in modern art.
