"Three Dreams in a Desert"

This collage uses torn photographs, vintage engravings and a variety of found papers to create an imaginary landscape. I used a rigid backboard layered with rag paper on which I began the collage. I like to work with complex textures,colors and images telling a "story" that can be interpreted in a variety of ways, The edge is finished with a torn paper border acting as a mat. A thin black metal frame finishes the work.

The image is a whimsical, collage-style artwork titled "Three Dreams in a Desert," featuring a surreal desert scene within a white frame. Central to the scene is a depiction of desert flora, including Joshua trees, and fauna, represented by playful rabbits and a bird, possibly a hawk, creating a fantastical atmosphere. The collage also incorporates various other elements such as a group of figures, adding to the surreal quality of the piece. The border of the artwork is white, embellished with decorative patterns, and there is a clear plaque at the bottom with the title written in white lettering. The overall mood of the image is lighthearted and dream-like.
