Survivor
My Metal Assemblage art is created by distressing, altering and re-combining pieces of old license plates in meaningful, expressive ways. This piece represents the difficult times our nation is currently experiencing — the strife, the politics, the inequality that has run us ragged. And yet, I am confident we will endure and survive. I use shreds of old, colorful license plates because they come from automobiles and nothing says “American” like our car culture. Caution: Cut metal and other objects used in the creation of this artwork produce sharp edges that can scratch or puncture skin.
