Privilege in Pieces – Original Framed Contemporary Collage by Erin McGrath Rieke
About This Artwork
Privilege in Pieces dismantles familiar images of beauty, comfort, and domestic security, then rebuilds them into something less settled. A red-roofed home appears amid fractured textures, obscured figures, and passages of blue, violet, and green. What looks protected at first begins to feel precarious.
Created as part of the Untamed series, the collage examines the distance privilege allows us to maintain from suffering. The pieces fit together, but never seamlessly. That tension is the point: comfort is rarely as innocent or self-contained as it appears.
