Wool felted relief sculpture on batik
6" | $175
Artist Statement: “I never had a Furby growing up, but my cousin did and I was furiously jealous. Needless schaudenfreude upon learning that this adorable little creatures had a tenency to shriek, move on their own, and generally behave as though they were possessed. Their reputation was so unsettling that in 1999, Furbies were even baned from US government facilities for fear that they could record and repeat sensitive information. Whether they were actually spying or just being weird little demons, I'll never know. What I do know is that, decades later, I finally got my Furbies... and gave them the demonic energy they embody.”
Central California artist and educator Monica has taught high school fine art for over 17 years. A multidisciplinary maker who works across acrylics, printmaking, drawing, and batik, she embraces an intuitive, open-ended creative process. Along with showing in juried exhibitions, Monica creates miniature original batiks distributed through Art-o-Mat’s vintage vending machines across the country.
