Mixed-Genre Hybrid Artwork
#AB668 - "improvvisato"
|
"Improvvisato" - text detail
|
10" x 19" trad painting, digital montage, digital painting, and "formal" poem | acrylic and pigment inkjet on archival cotton rag paper prepared for inkjet printing | notes: the acrylic painting was done first, the digital painting and montage elements were created next on the computer by working "on top of" a digital photograph of the painting. The shape and size for the poem was determined after that to intentionally constrain the poem (as any formal poem is constrained by its form - e.g. a sonnet.) The poem itself was then written (within the confines of the predetermined size and shape) in response to the rest of the piece. The acrylic painting was then passed through the inkjet printer where the digitally created elements were printed onto the acrylic component of the work using archival pigment inks to complete the piece.

My hybrid works mix two or more genres into a single piece of art. I employ various combinations of photographs, digital drawings, digital paintings, poetry, traditional paintings, drawings, and/or prose to create each final piece of artwork. Some of these works also involve my collaboration with and/or inclusion of another artist/writer's work (with appropriate permissions.)
