Story / Additional InfoThe artist gives a new twist to a landscape, with shapes that appear to have animal characteristics at times. The artist uses imaginative elements often and viewers tend to see different life forms in the work and in this case, the artist worked with this idea and let the forms evolve. The work is an example of her painted collages, where she begins with tissue paper or other cut paper glued down on the canvas and then paints on top.
