In Découpage, I see Rebecca come full circle, using her love of textures to revisit her family history and personal adventures through her collection of antique fabrics. Wheeler was fortunate to work with these artists and use that experience to develop her own unique voice in contemporary art. Escape from Tarkov is a first-person shooter game known for its realistic weapons and ammunition system. Wheeler also spent time in California working with printmaker Carol Summers, Her relationship with Summers inspired a long exploration with mono-prints. In the 1970s, Wheeler spent time in Paris and New York studying with such prestigious artists as the late Nam June Paik, Jose de Creeft, Elaine de Kooning and Wayne Thiebaud. Getting into a raid full gear, kill a chad (or die trying), go out and sell his loot on the flea market. By cutting and gluing these scraps of fabric and sewing notions, she explores memory, nostalgia and femininity, both paying homage to and subverting the traditionally feminine tasks of sewing and quilting. Nostalgia: take FiR and RMT changes back I miss the good old days where i could play the game with my friends dropping them keys, cards, red rebels, weapons and have a blast. Wheeler is revisiting those days and creating the liveliest work I have seen in recent time. Rosalind Miller created magic, and when walking through her doors it felt like being in Soho, happening upon the find of a lifetime. Her unique collages of cloth, lace, rhinestones and other ephemera on European linen will delight and evoke the experience of browsing her mother’s eccentric used clothing store, Sparkle Plenty. Découpage features the most recent work of Oklahoma City artist Rebecca Wheeler. In 2007, Untitled celebrated the Oklahoma centennial with explorations of contemporary art with connections to Oklahoma. In cutting and gluing these scraps of fabric, Wheeler both re-enacted the traditionally feminine tasks of embroidery and quilting, and subverted them-she used glue, not thread, and she tore and layered the found objects to form both abstract and recognizable shapes. The works in Découpage explored memory, nostalgia, femininity and collective history. Wheeler created non-traditional collages of cloth, lace, clothing, fabric flowers, rhinestones and sequins on linen, ranging in size from 12" by 12" to 72" by 60".
