ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I was inspired by a trip to Morocco. Visiting the markets i discovered colorful rosebud herbs that spoke to me. I had never observed something so unique. So i simulated the rosebuds in the paper piercings using colorful silk. I created colorful bundles to represent packages and housed everything on abaca a hand made paper superimposed over `16 gage copper that i patinaed. The entire piece is sealed and gallery ready for hanging. Morning in Morocco is a joyful, uplifting piece that has also been published in SPOTLIGHT 32.I love the zen like quality of copper fused with the paper i create. Its such an unusual combination that sparks many remarks for its originality.
