I am a visual artist working in collage, assemblage sculpture and altered books. My practice explores identity, memory and the history of the African diaspora. Vintage and contemporary images collide to convey how the past informs the present.

Patina-tiny experiments

"art on the street"
For The Husband's anniversary art, I've been trying out some green patina. I'll upload a few pix later. In the meantime, this is a little real-world patina I walk past most every day: Rusted and patina'd rebar next to an empty flowerpot.
I'm sure if I thought hard enough about it, I'd be able to figure out why some of the rebar is more green than the rest.
Rust and patina experts: any ideas?

I don't have issues. I have a subscription.
