WEEKLY JOURNAL: Jumping janes, Martha Rosler

Jumping Janes by Martha Rosler was created in the women's art movement and is part of martha's private collection although it has been displayed in many museums world wide. Jumping Janes or "nature girls" is a photomontage created using mixed techniques. I came across Rosler in a class lecture and found this piece after further researching her on the web. I think she tries to achieve Photo-opt work by combining different media in allot of her pieces and this one is certainly of the more successful.
I can relate Rosler's work back to my project one, the found image remix project, because she takes different images and by combining them can force a new meaning out of her composition.
