Michelle Michalak produces amazing work with mosaics. Her artwork takes fragments and marries them together to create a complete visual message. Her intention is to keep the viewer curious and engaged, consistently revealing hidden details.
The 3 pieces displayed are:
1. Freedom: This was her first piece created after 9/11, at a time when uncertainty was rampant. She found courage and comfort in puzzling together her creativity, alongside Lady Liberty.
2. Femininity: This is a piece that helped her announce and unite her sexuality.
3. Hope: This was created as inspiration off of Shepard Fairey's 2008 poster. The upgraded 2012 version joins together "superheros" of the time - Lady Gaga and Charlie Sheen, alongside Obama. The piece displays our country's optimism and enthusiasm for Fame Monsters.
