Just finished this collage using left over chocolate wrappers, cut paper, and random Mother Theresa stamps I found in our closet. The figurine is based on a vintage Hindu temple god that I was given as a gift in Pondicherry.
If you've been following along here you probably know that I don't generally work in collage--however, this one was so fun I might have to do more in the future. Using found materials to create artwork is always such a welcome challenge.

I love this Kimia- the colours of the background are so vibrant and beautiful - and they really help in highlighting the figurine - supporting her to standout. Love the Mother Theresa stamps!
ReplyDeleteLove it - especially the pattern in the background! And isn't Martin O'Neill's work inspiring?

ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the paisley, and the contrast between it and the figurine. The things you can do with found materials!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's fantastic! I love that you used chocolate wrappers.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. I don't know that I would have even noticed Mother Tereasa in there. She blends so well!
