CenterFest Merit Winner Spotlight: Joan Rasmussen “A constant theme in my life and my mixed media work is that we are one of many. This belief is shown through my approach to the figure. Every piece is an individual from the limitless characters I encounter: either real or imagined-often I'm unsure. Building the figure as an articulated doll simplifies the form and emphasizes the qualities that most interest me: wonder, play, mischief. Each wears an unexpected piece of paraphernalia meant to accentuate how far we go to be perceived as individuals- when, in fact, we are one of many.” See incredible artwork like Joan's figures at CenterFest on September 20 & 21!
