Michelle Hirsch
Mixed Media Artist:
I experiment with found material in my mixed media works. My recent collages and installations have incorporated materials such as syringes, bandages, masks, tree wound sealer, flagging tape, Venetian plaster and charred trees from the wildfires.
There is always strong research component behind my work. I immerse myself in the environment for site specific projects. I work intuitively and projects will morph depending on material constraints and the direction of my research.
As an immigrant, I am interested in the falsehood of the Other. The recurring themes in my body of work are related to identity and healing.
