My two newest collages are based on the Oscar nominated film about a summer love affair in the Italian countryside, "Call Me By Your Name."
I wanted to capture the passion and ease of the film with a diptych of contrasting images. An intimate love story is not easily recreated but I sought to engage those same feelings that the warmth of the sun and a delicious meal can conjure in our memories.
"Peach Tree At Night" shows the heavy limbs of a peach tree lit by the light of an open window.
"Soft Boiled Egg" brings the viewer to the next morning with a broken egg in an egg cup ready to be devoured.
These collages were created with a new technique. Before applying the individual cut paper pieces (leaves, peaches, etc) I spray painted each one to create depth and shading.
Later!
