SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE NEW "PORTALS" BODY OF WORK! The Katrina Collection is a series of mixed media assemblages which incorporate storm debris from Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav. There are approximately 1000 pieces in the collection to date, so most of the pieces are in the archives, located on the right hand side of the poage-just scroll down a little bit.
Cross with Fleur de Lis (Sacred Heart) is the first piece in a new series. There has been much in the news about the changing face of New Orleans since Katrina. One change is the number of Mexicans and Central Americans who have come in to the city to do the laborious job of cleaning up the city, and rebuilding structures. This infusion of Latin cultures is sure to leave its mark on the Big Easy-quite probably with at least as much influence as the first time. The piece is composed of a painted Mexican metal cross, a painted fleur de lis ceiling tile, and a piece of broken furniture from a Mississippi debris pile. 14" x 16" SOLD
