Story / Additional InfoThis work was created using scraps of tissue paper and other xeroxed materials with patterns and designs that make a pleasing composition. The artist works blindly at first juxtaposing shapes and colors but when a composition begins to take shape, the artist takes advantage of line and form to created a unified final art piece. In this example, the swirl patterns began to repeat and the artist emphasized them, giving an almost abstract feel to the final product. The feeling is like being in a hothouse surrounded by exotic plants in bloom. The viewer can almost smell the rich, pungent floral scents.
