Composite 9 & 10

Known for her loose free-flowing style with a strong realistic streak, Bruton specializes in both mixed media painting and collage. Many of her collages employ mundane objects as the key to getting at a deeper memory or concept. Identifyable objects in this piece are a womans bra, a coke bottle, and keep hands off sign. This can be interpreted to be a message about women's bodies and concent, as a coke glass is a common object that curvey women are compared to, and the undergarments imply intimacy, and the hands off completes this implication.
