Each piece combines found objects, wood, metal, vintage items, and studio remnants into striking mixed media assemblage art that transforms discarded materials into meaningful form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003eKeck began exploring mixed media assemblages in 2003 with small boxed dioramas made from vintage cigar boxes. Over time, this evolved into large-scale wall sculptures, using accumulated studio materials such as packaging, paint tubes, worn tools, and other overlooked items. These works established a long-term artistic practice focused on turning forgotten objects into original, textured, and layered mixed media assemblage art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"2001\"\u003eHer mixed media wall assemblages include symbolic heart assemblages, cross assemblages created through traditional found object and bricolage techniques, and large-scale abstract wall sculptures.
