"Observations"
Michelle Sales
Bird of the Wood
Mixed media artist Michelle Sales says her work is about the accumulation and preservation of memories.
"These memories, represented by constructed and found materials, are stitched together to create two and three dimensional artwork. Each piece is built up with various layers denoting passage of time and erosion. My works are abstract journals in which memories are retained, protected and preserved. Through this process I document events, emotions, growth and decline. In like fashion, my memories mimic ancient civilizations, one built on top of another, century after century, new upon old, in an endless cycle." — Michelle Sales
