Yesterday was May Day so I figured what better way to start this blog than with one of my recently completed mixed-media works focusing on construction workers. This image developed out of a drawing/watercolor that I created on paper. I chose colors and imagery that reference the flag of Mexico, a country where many migrant workers come from and can be found here in the United States. In the image and the frame are materials used in construction: hardi backer board, grout, mirrors, industrial adhesive. The subjects of the drawings have no identifying features and suggest their value as individuals only goes as far as their last day of hard work.
Dimensions: 18"x20"
Medium: acrylic, grout, mirror, paper, sharpie, tile adhesive & watercolor on hardi backer
