Mixed Media Assemblage
Bed Spring Matrix #2 60”x30” mixed media clay tiles and steel
Bed Spring Matrices
In 2018, I started assembling my bed spring matrices. Using found materials and several types of clay, I started shifting my clay tilework from individual pieces to quilt-like structures, favoring an array of mixed-media components that incorporate images of animals, the human body, and other organic forms interwoven with found objects, both natural and human-made.
