I’m Rochelle, a collage artist/sculptor. My practice centers around the cut out being king, & utilizing found images to form connections & understand our history & life on this planet.
My jigsaw is my best friend, I use her to draw 🥲🪚

Living here is a cocktail of anxiety, unease, & horror mixed w/ joy, wonder, & beauty. It requires continuously unpacking hypocrisy & uncovering the truth 🫠

I made this piece out of found images I’m not attracted to and don’t like. Each one is a deeply disquieting image from classic horror movies, horrific historical moments, and found photography of unnerving subject matter.

Been working through some artists block w/ flat collaged works by using cut offs & scraps. They feel like sketches. Of course the violence of the last few years finds its way in to the work
