About the Work
Wendy White's colorful mixed media works feature a swell of blended imagery found in everything from vintage advertisements to energetically paced cityscapes. Contemporary experience exists as a multiverse of semiotics — from professional sports to omnipresent advertisements, there is an endless feed of visual language to process. White creates a bridge to traverse this well, collaging together intuitive marks and colorfields with more ubiquitous forms, forging wrinkles in time. Love's Dark Corners (2020) melds a vintage romance novel book cover, photographs of petroglyphs at national parks, and a clip-art rainbow emoji that is a signature motif in White's work.
