Visual Art – Charlotte

About my art: Somewhere there are unknown objects that belong together. Once they come together, they become a work of art. The medium is called "Assemblage". I create it using objects I find as I move around the block, the city, the world. Each element is discovered separately and is not changed or altered as I build the piece. Purely through contrast and collaboration, the finished work emerges. No two are alike. None can be duplicated. Each is one of one. I have always been an artist. I studied art in high school and college. I also studied in Madrid and Italy. I have experimented with a number of mediums including charcoal drawings, acrylic paintings, black and white photography, but for me, that work was about capturing something that already exists. Tarnish | Assemblage frees me to create something else. marilynne speed 2019
