Description

This collage, which English described as an earthscape, is formed with materials the artist returned to again and again. It has a primordial quality, as if representing the first Earth, spoken into existence by God. Built on a framed canvas constructed by her father, it serves to reconcile the divine and the human in its imagery and media and to fascinate the viewer with the richness of its tactile elements.
