Josephine Wilt, Multimedia Artist
Motivation: Sustainability is at the heart of my creative process. I turn cast-off materials rescued from local thrift stores, dumpsters, and desert landscapes into fine art.
Inspiration: My artwork shares a very tactile impression of our incredible Arizona origins, its natives, and its landscapes. I am inspired by the desert views from my Cave Creek backyard and the pine forests of the Mogollon Rim.
While I use a variety of materials and processes in each art piece, my methodology focuses on a multimedia layered collage approach. The subject matter of my work determines the materials and the forms of each composition. My art contains a variety of different materials including repurposed leather and suede, hand-crafted paper pulp, felted sheep’s wool, found rusted metalwork, and botanical elements.
My goal is to give each piece multiple dimensions and to enhance the connection I feel with my environment.
