Say Nice Things About Detroit
Say Nice Things About Detroit
Mixed Media Collage & Acrylic on Canvas
"Say Nice Things About Detroit" was created, in part, at a Live Art event at Eastern Market. I invited attendees to write something nice about Detroit, or to simply write their favorite memory about or place in the city. I incorporated these messages by collaging them directly to the canvas. Some of the messages include memories from childhood or favorite hotspots. It was great to hear praise for the city and see the excitement in people's eyes as the recounted their favorite memories.
This painting, which measure 36"x36", is painted on gallery wrap canvas. The edges of this panel are painted in turquoise with some paper overlays revealing the process. It's ready for display - no need for framing.
A metallic print of this piece is available as well - the image measures 10"x10" with a 1/2 inch border all around (total dimensions 11x11)
