Employing mixed media to inspire and make anew, Jaime Becker’s environmentally conscious collage is complex and graceful. Found objects of discarded material and recycled products texture her three dimensional pieces and endow her flat works with false illusions and a lively avoidance. A piece of wood abandoned from a construction site, a kitchen cabinet left for the garbage collector, a vacationer’s post-card that never found its way home reminds that anything can be art – that forgotten items, lost to time and the elements, can be both harrowing and sacred. Her art is unrefined, the edges exposed. Rough wood, sharp metal, plastic – nothing is hidden – quite a relief in an age of constant digital obfuscation.
