…two birds—beyond the bladez2014

Not on view
Abstract diptych with dense, collage-like dark oval mass on white ground, layered with looping gray marks, red and green vertical ribbons, pink floral clusters, and a horizontal band of decorative imagery
Mixed-media work combining painting and collage; a reclining figure rendered in gray tones with head tilted back, adorned with pearl drop earrings and a pink floral headdress, set against a densely layered background of glittering black fabric, zebra-print ribbons, lace trim, beaded strands, and floral printed textiles in red, green, and pink.
Mixed-media collage with layered cut paper, fabric, lace, buttons, and glitter on a dark ground; a pink peony bloom anchors the center, surrounded by yellow pom-pom trim, red polka-dot ribbon, floral-patterned strips, gold coins, and iridescent blue-black glittered shapes.
Mixed-media collage with layered patterned fabrics, papers, and embellishments; a large stylized flower in deep red and pink dominates the center, surrounded by vertical strips of zebra print, green damask, and red polka-dot ribbon; peach roses at right, scattered buttons and gold coins below, glittery black ground above.
