MICHELLE
I consider assemblage a form of narrative: arranging and layering objects, allowing their shape, texture or iconography to provide the plot. Found objects are the characters with their built-in history prior to my manipulating or deconstructing them towards a new purpose. Making "trash into treasure" is a method of alchemy I consider more noble than the ethical necessity of recycling. Being a multi-disciplinary artist, versatility is a must, keeping creativity fresh and fueling the fire for continuous learning and frequent reinvention.
