Little Pieces of Me

“Little Pieces of Me” is made of up 36 miniature portraits of women from another era with divergent personalities, dreams, roles and issues. They could be anyone at anytime in history but their images.

The style of the piece is steam punk meets renaissance images. Each portrait is mounted on a small wooden block creating using mixed media collage comprising paper, acrylic paint, glue and ephemera. The finished piece is approximately 100x60mm.

This work is one of my first in this style and over the years I keep coming back to it. There’s something about the images of the women and creating their stories. I am at peace when I am looking for images, combining unexpected objects using collage, cutting, tearing, painting and gluing. I am in the process of creating two more pieces using a similar technique.
