A new collage for your Monday.

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.


12"x12", Mixed media and collage on paper affixed to panel, 2012

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.

  1. 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!

  8. That is beautiful. I don't know that I would have even noticed Mother Tereasa in there. She blends so well!
