Abstract
Writer’s Block is a mixed-media piece created using a shadow box, collage, and a variety of found/chosen materials. The piece is inspired by my favorite authors and artists, who all embraced dadaism and experimental ways of creating their work. My goal for this piece is to provoke viewers into seeing creative expression and writing as a cathartic experience, as well as something that isn’t bound to societal norms/constraints. I believe that art is best in its rawest and most honest form—untouched by outside influences and sometimes even absent of reason.
