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.
