Insignia: Collages by Jeffrey Cyphers Wright

Jeffrey Cyphers Wright

Artist’s statement: Mail Art first influenced my artistic direction. In the 80s I began creating collages using found images, rubber stamps and stickers. I also practiced graffiti, using markers, stencils and spraypaint. I’ve retained some of those “outlaw” elements and techniques while adding drawing and environmental themes, to establish a personal style that is reflective of the East Village. I create insignias from the pertinent signifiers of my tribe.
