Observation

Steamed, washed, ironed, and now hung on a wall at the museum building at Camp Meade where I could take its image. Amazing to me how grey I made the background of the white silk. Has a different energy than the collage. Tells a different story and somehow the heart of the original doesn't find its way into this enlarged "copy". It all was a good test and I am still keeping it under observation. Any comments? The piece is 44x72 on paj silk, very fine, light and shiny.

I just see two very different pieces of work...maybe because of the silk but I would say they stand on their own...apples and oranges so to speak!

Thanks for your comment. Yes, seem very different statements.
