LATONJA DAVIS-BENSON FINE ART

I am an abstract artist who works primarily in mixed media abstract reclamation processes addressing human responsiveness–sight and touch. I choose to work in large format with a collection of numerous sorts of non-art materials, left-over builders items, and a myriad of other man-made utilitarian and organic findings in my art designs. I find that this mixture of materials heightens the art viewer’s visual and tactile experience as they begin to reference each part of the art to something that they know. I often watch people watch art, and I read the body language as they confront the work with questions in their minds. But in essence, the answer is only how it makes you feel; where it takes you for the moment in time; and what you think later.
