DESCRIPTION
Twenty-Five A Mixed Media Series by Rebecca B. Farris. Statement. - PowerPoint PPT Presentation
Citation preview
Have you ever heard the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure"?
I am not a man, but I consider bits and pieces of "standardized" (receipts, charge slips, fabric pattern papers, etcetera) scraps to be treasure.
Integrating these snippets with numbers, which are universally recognizable symbols, is a way for me to create balanced compositions and engage you with a universal language composed of ordinary characters in a fresh, unconventional way through the use of experimental media.
Rebecca B. Farris is currently a senior at Appalachian State University, majoring in Studio Art with a primary concentration in painting and a secondary concentration in photography.
