In my original ‘Graffiti’ series, created in the mid-2000s, each painting was a visual rant, incorporating texts and shapes rendered in pen, paint and collage – as seen in my Economy Bomb series.The messages were based on the social, political and economic news in the headlines of the day. This new project is a reinterpretation of that previous series, but this time created on women’s handbags.
In this newest iteration, Graffiti Purses, I’m still working with arbitrary words, nonsensical phrases, symbols and ideas, but this time I’m pulling more from my own ideas and imagination instead of the news of the day.
Here I’m still incorporating words, text and images with sarcasm, humor and characters of my own creation. I couldn’t say what it all means, but I can say that when I’m in a place of artistic ‘flow’ the ideas just keep coming. At this time I only have a limited number of painted purses, but email me for info, pricing and availability.
