I’ve been trying to think about how to describe this piece I made.  It’s mixed media collage, but it’s also a painting.  I collaged by adding paper, but I also cut away layers of paper. It’s acrylic but also watercolor.  It’s carefully put together but also wildly free.  I named it “Tapestry of Flight” and it’s about leaves and birds and that cacophony that swirling winds bring.

It was a slow and meditative process to put it together.

Days and days and weeks of cutting and adding and painting and cutting.  You can see that complexity in these detail photos:

It’s a feast for the eyes. There’s so much to look at!

At my booth last weekend someone looked at this piece and said: It’s a party!

I think it would be an ideal piece for an entry way, a kitchen, or a dining room.  It’s the kind of piece that brings lots of happy energy with it.
