Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black History Month
New Works by Paul S. Benjamin
Mixed media collage antiques and heirlooms
“Each portrait is collaged on a piece of antique or vintage furniture, mostly on mirrors. Like quilts, the background of each work is collaged in geometric shapes. As in quilting, these collages connect individually cut fragments that form patterns. The series uses the patterns as a metaphor for connecting elements of the past and present."
