Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

The meaning of an artwork is changing depending on who's looking at it - depending on what culture, depending on what time, and so forth. It's alive.
- Sarah Morris
Sarah Morris has exhibited internationally since the 1990s. She creates both films and paintings and views the two media as interconnected. Sarah Morris's films focus on particular cities or individuals, as well as places from the viewpoint of an individual. The British artist creates abstract paintings that investigate what she describes as "urban, social, and bureaucratic typologies." Sarah Morris’s works are based on the observation of architectural details with careful consideration to the dynamics of a city. Her graphic paintings are dramatic and executed with high-gloss paint. In her film work, she uses different types of cinematography, as a way of examining it from the inside out. Morris' most recent work is about Rio de Janeiro and depicting its complex layers. She expands on her abstract compositions to Rio's beaches, hospitals, fruit stands, and even football stadiums. Living and working in both New York and London, Morris has participated in many exhibitions including The Wexner Center for the Arts (2012) and Kunsthalle (2013). (Artist website)
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
