Fly Away
Artist’s Statement
I have been working in mixed media for several years now. I like to look for collage images that might tell a story. Sometimes the story is about my own experiences or ideas. Sometimes it is about literature or other arts.
Fly Away is part of a series that I worked on in 2022 with the theme of “dance.” I was inspired by the movie Waste Land, as well as a story in National Geographic. To me, this work is about many young people in South America and how dance or other arts might be the only hope they have of overcoming their current circumstances.
