This unique collage was created in a process that requires time and patience to produce. The artwork is cut and assembled from smaller pieces that incorporates patterns, maps, shapes, and pieces of text together from various sources. This layered and dimensional technique gives these works their signature look and depth. The result is a piece of artwork that can be appreciated across the room and admired for its unusual details up close. This design is created as an edition, but each piece of the edition is hand-cut and hand-assembled; no two are exactly alike! Dimensions include the frame.
"Boot and Spur" is a vibrant mixed-media collage presenting a stylized representation of a western boot. The shoe consists of an eclectic amalgamation of graphics, texts, and different designs layered one over another, which gives it a highly textured and dynamic appearance. The overall color palette is rich and consists of purples, blues, yellows, oranges, reddish-browns, and a range of other complementary colors. The background on which the shoe rests appears to be overlaid with faint text, giving the image additional depth and a sense of layering.
