Feeling Dangerous

Collage, acrylic paint, reimagined images, analog artwork on canvas

“I use my work to sort out my feelings and thoughts about the complexities and enduring mark of structural sexism in the United States and its impact on my life. Currently, my collage work focuses on the history of how sexualization of women has been used in advertising. The intent is to recapture, recognize, and recreate the strength found from being a woman. “

About the artist

Cristina Sayers

American

Cristina Sayers is a visually inspired intuitive collage artist. She holds an authentic eye and distinct vision in her selected medium. Her collage art origins is from handmade, old-fashioned cut and paste collage. She makes this differentiation because so much collage work, on the internet, is composed digitally. Influenced by surf culture, historical images, humor, racial equality, recycling, elements of nature, sea, and satire are common elements throughout her work. Subjects and images are selected by a visceral attraction and are what Cristina finds appealing in a visual perspective. The existence of these collages are found and carefully curated photographs taken in her home town of Santa Cruz, California and reimagined photographs from vintage publications.
