Description
This collage features the lovely magnolia as seen in the spring. Various pink paper dots represent the beautiful flowers of the tree. The magnolia blooms in the early spring for a very short time and is a wonderful sight to behold. This collage was created using hand cut paper, thread and paper dots arranged and layered on canvas. There are probably thousands of individual pieces of paper here all cut from recycled magazines, thread was used to represent the more delicate branches of the tree. It was a long process that tried my patience sometimes but in the end it was all worth it, I like to call it artistic recycling.
