Summer after graduation I started working on a new multi-media collection. I knew I wanted it to be a collection with three elements, because I had three spare canvases in my room. One night I just started painting. I wanted each of the paintings to have a sense of life. I did this my creating a “flower” shaped background with bright colors in acrylic.
On the first painting I finished I added a three dimensional flower which was made from colored paper and colored pencil, I also added sequences that were left over from a dress, and I added a little glitter to accent the painted background.
Next I looked around my room as I was packing to leave for college. I did not need to bring a Peacock feather with me and its height match perfectly with my canvas. I then smashed a mirror that I attached to broken pieces along the opposite edge. Then just to add another unique aspect I took a purple and gold spray paint and used it along the bottom edge.
Finally, I used a broken Mardi Gras necklace and placed the clear beads along the contours of the painting, and I accented the acrylic paint with some gold glitter I had stumbled upon.
I had a lot of fun working on this collection and finding the different items that would come into play.
This piece really intrigues me. I love how there are three separate canvases, yet they all tie together. The materials you used are very creative.
