Collage 160

The inspiration for this piece was some materials that Emma brought into the studio. I think of my "strong suit" as color, color, color. But in this piece I enjoyed working with neutrals. She brought in the butterflies. She found boxes of old letters and magazines in the studio building. What a treasure trove. (Emma AND the ephemera!) This imagery always reminds me of the Victorian era when botany and collections of everything natural were all the rage. -- Lola
