Paper Mosaic Portrait created for a POP art solo show in NY featuring celebrities, musicians and models.
As always, Sandhi starts with an original painting on canvas; and hand cuts hundreds or thousands of "tiles" from her collection of junk mail. Each piece of paper is cut to fit like a mosaic.
Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend portrays classic Marilyn Monroe. This work is also embellished with a dimensional "diamonds" created from upcycled sign vinyl, Christmas cards, and jewels. After a show in a Smithsonian gallery, Sandhi gave Marilyn a "glow up" with additional swirls, diamonds and painted elements.
The edges of the canvas are painted and surrounded with a mosaic of paper.
