Mythical creatures created from found objects by artist Dianne Hoffman

Myths & Legends

In this series, I have reinvented mythical themes and characters. Much like the legends I have portrayed- the re-purposed objects utilized provide a unique perspective into our disposable past and the renewed transformation we are capable of. In this way, my translation of these sacred tales has added another layer of fact to their endlessly relevant fictitious testimonies.
