Letitia Kenemer / Assembled Art

226 Northbrook Circle, Ames

Mixed Media
Broken doll parts,
shells, old buttons and
spools, oh my!
Weve all heard the
saying. One persons
trash is another persons
treasure. Well, what the
average person would see
as disconnected artifacts
and knick-knacks,
assemblage artist, Letitia
Kenemer, views as a sea
of artistic treasures with
endless possibility to create stunningly unique artwork.
Letitia is always searching for and collecting small objects that
have potentiala process that she feels is just as important to her as
the final piece. Her artwork reinterprets these objects that others have
discarded or forgotten, and gives them different meaning and new
appreciation. She constantly moves around and rearranges the objects
until she finally feels that they are in the right place.
When Letitia is not creating her signature assemblage pieces,
she is working away at the Workspace in the Iowa State Memorial
Union as the Workspace coordinator.
