Assemblage Art & Altered Dolls
I have long been attracted to the energy of ridiculous to wear but somehow wonderful to see high-heeled or unusual-heeled shoes. I'm a Crocs/Mary Jane person myself, but I have been working with using shoes as containers for many years. I love to fill them with things and body parts. The 'meaning' in these pieces usually eludes me, but I find them compelling to do and enjoy them immensely. I know there's a cosmic joke within them but I don't get the content, only the laugh. Most of the shoes come from Goodwill and other thrift shops, with occasional donations by friends. I collect them at random says Elisabeth Fitzhugh.
