Three Vessels I Collage

"Three Vessels I" is one 8" x 8" panel. "Three Vessels II" is a separate 8" x 8" panel. These panels are priced and sold separately. About this work: I have been looking at the relationship between images that are cut into two or more pieces and what happens visually and narratively when they are forced apart or brought back together. Both of these panels are successful individually and together they create relationship of image and a new narrative. This work began as a canvas board onto which I glued newsprint, added multiple layers of paint and collage elements to create a distressed texture. Touch is important in my work. I have painted the back of the piece black and added my signature.
