Midnight Meditation.
After a day spent confined to a desk in a dimly lit and bustling office, mentally drained, I find solace at night through meditation, conjuring visions of celestial realms. Handmade collage using cut paper, tissue paper watercolor, and pastels.
Collage Size: 15 x 19.25 inches.

Sunrise.
As the first light of day breaks the horizon, casting long shadows, a solitary figure stands tall amidst the golden glow. His silhouette stretched long and slender by the morning sun, reaches out in reverence to the sky. With outstretched arms, amid the dance of light and shadow, the man melds into the beauty of the morning dawn. Handmade collage; paper on paper.
Collage Size: 9.5 x 26 inches.

Unbound Dreams.
The woman, in her posture and her dress, is constrained. There is literally a rope at her knees keeping her in place. The colors are dark and solemn, resembling a barren desert. By contrast, her thought cloud is vibrant, alive, and exotically colorful, with scenes that appear to be a wild forest. Ropes in her thought clouds (bits and pieces) are broken. In her thoughts, she is unconstrained. Part of my series of collages exploring the use of rope in artistic expression. Mixed media collage using bits and pieces of paper, watercolor, pastels, denim (for the skirt) and rope (twine).
Collage Size: 10.5 x 20.5 inches.
