Hazelnut Street

Mixed-media collage on illustration board
16 x 12 inches

This collage piece is inspired by the decorative lights used in my neighbourhood which can only be seen at night. Night has far more potential than sole darkness, and so is painting. Beads, gems, yarns, fabrics, and many other materials can be used in paintings to make them special.

Enchanted Forest

Mixed-media collage on illustration board
16 x 12 inches

This collage piece is inspired by the well-known fairytale "Snow White". Entering the Enchanted Forest is a threshold symbol; the soul entering the perils of the unknown; the realm of death; the secrets of nature or the spiritual world which man must penetrate to find the meaning. This collage work aims to express the complicated symbolic meaning of the Enchanted Forest, enhance the whimsical characteristic through the use of colours and non-traditional materials.
