About the Artwork

Falling Through the Cracks started with photographs of the intricately designed sidewalks of Prague. A city resident ignores these mosaic footpaths the way a DC local passes hurriedly by the White House. But as a tourist, I was captivated by the patterns and made art from art.

Method: I reduce the digital images of the sidewalk photos to about an inch wide and fill a whole sheet of paper (Word doc) with that one photo. With scissors, I cut shapes by hand from the patterned paper, adding color and depth by gluing on pastel paper and vice versa. Finished pieces are 8"x10".

Current exhibit: National Collage Society's 27th Annual Juried Exhibit is online through Fall 2012. The first piece in the Bubble section was selected. You can see it here, second row, third from left.

Upcoming exhibit: Artomatic 2012 will be in Crystal City from May 18 through June 24.

Select past shows: Co-curated (and exhibited at) a special exhibition of Artomatic artists in the Gallery Walkway, Terminal A, Reagan National Airport, March-June 2011; MiniSolos (juried) at Touchstone Gallery, August 2011; Hillyer Art Space, juried member shows March & January 2011 and Nov 2010; Patuxent & Laurel Art Leagues 2010 juried exhibitions; The Art League, juried member show Nov 2010; Artomatic 2009 & 2008; and the Glen Echo Labor Day Art Show, 2010 & 2011.
