This dynamic mixed media collage stretched canvas print titled "Mirror Mirror" by artist Antionette Simmons Hodges from 2023 incorporates a variety of materials to create an intriguing and symbolic work. The piece features three elongated female figures depicted in black silhouettes against a patterned gray and white background with decorative borders.
The most captivating elements are the faces of the figures, which are embossed metal gift tags that the artist skillfully repurposed and integrated into the composition. These metallic faces have distinct features and expressions, adding a tactile and dimensional quality to the otherwise flat figures.
Hodges has combined fabrics, acrylics, and found materials in this continuous line technique, resulting in a harmonious blend of textures and patterns. The figures are adorned with swirling black and white motifs, creating a sense of movement and rhythm within the piece.
Notably, the figure on the right is depicted holding the shape of the African continent in her hand, symbolizing a profound connection to ancestral roots and the motherland. This powerful imagery highlights the theme of cultural identity and heritage that seems to pervade the work.
The title "Mirror Mirror" suggests a theme of self-reflection, identity, and perhaps the multiple facets of one's persona. The three figures, each with their unique metallic face, could represent different aspects or stages of one's life, personality, or relationship to their African origins.
Overall, this mixed media collage is a visually engaging and thought-provoking work that showcases Hodges' creativity and skill in repurposing everyday materials into art with deep symbolic meaning. The combination of textures, patterns, found objects, and African imagery creates a layered piece that invites the viewer to contemplate self-perception, identity, and the enduring ties to one's ancestral homeland.
