Acqua di Fiori Essenziale         60x48 mixed                           2010

(Essential Water Flower).  An incredibly sophisticated painting of mixed medias including copper, fibers, photo collage, sycamore leaves, wallpaper, Swarovski crystal, and Budapest currency. This painting of abstract botanical afloat and awash in pools and drops of light blue colors. Sycamore leaves launch up the left side of canvas, one floating above a soft plaid wall paper laced in copper, and another leaf shape of textured paper laced with black fiber. A Budapest currency, 200 Forint banknote resides mid-canvas. Orange and lavender botanical shapes seemingly floating above and below the two dimensional plane of canvas. Multiple lucid layers of multi-media and attachments give the entire canvas a three dimensional sensation. More fibers wander around the composition among bold strokes of thick paint; their placement creating gentle movement.
