In my work I take aim at the advertising graphics on post-consumer plastic bags that I have collected for decades. Utilizing an Exacto knife and the slow deliberate action of cutting, I extract, alter and subvert those advertising graphics, and with an inherently playful nature, I wrestle them through the sieve of formal beauty until they are no longer useful for marketing. Ultimately, I use these altered advertising images to create timely artworks in a mandala format. Mandalas, associated with wholeness and healing and are a non-religious, universal tool for meditation composed of highly decorative, symmetrical patterns. The making of these ebullient plastic bag mandalas is a joyful act of defiance that reclaims our visual landscape, creates a commentary on ecological awareness and reveals the hidden beauty of disposable items that continually pass through our hands.
