Story / Additional InfoThis work is part of a series that illustrates the importance of a particular childhood tree where the artist would spend her days playing and dreaming, where her imagination was born. The artist creates a fanciful feeling with the starburst shapes and the images on the side. Playing is an important aspect of a child’s world, their work so to speak and the artist extends that to her adult life through her artwork. Two horse heads peek out from the limbs, another fantasy the artist dreamed of, as many young girls undoubtedly do. This is an example of the artist’s medium she calls painted collage, that starts with a collage of images and tissue paper and is completed as a painting with oils.
