While working with found objects, old magazines and historical data, I created collages from the inspiration of Woman’s History Month. The center theme surrounds images of woman who were convicted of larceny during the 19th and early 20th century. The connection between the four boxes is created using bits and pieces of photographs, news clippings, tape, ink and paint. Recycled shipping boxes are used as the support for each separate work. My art looks at Life Forms created by the human condition. Working conditions, the lack of employment opportunities and the necessity of family survival led many into the world of Larceny. Many of the punishments far outweighed the degree of lawlessness. I have tried to include other ephemera to create a sense of the time in these works.
