Tragic Future

Collage is another style of art that lets me bring lots of layering to my works. This abstract design is a close up of tree bark. I use layers of drawings, magazines and paper to subtly add details of the unnecessary destruction of our forests, hence the name “Tragic Future.”

The materials I use include, magazine clippings, pastel, charcoal, tracing paper, lots of modge podge and fixative. For the support I used a 20” x 16” canvas. 

Piecing a collage together is much like doing a puzzle.... a more intimate, emotional puzzle that is.
