Garden in the Night Collage

This is an abstract impression of the colours and textures in my garden at night. Handmade paper is embossed with organic forms, painted, free stitched and embellished with glass beads to reflect the ongoing cycle of nature. Textured copper is stained and shim annealed to highlight the iridescent colours as flickers of light catch a surface. Found objects are stitched, painted pieces are collaged with dichroic glass and dyed lace to a verdigris stained driftwood panel, evoking the fragility of our existence.
