difficulty (i always cry at weddings)
mixed media collage on panel board
11 x 14 inches
some pop art meets ruined billboard. some scraped-away wreckage at the end of the world. some fragments of thought in colour, form and movement. some marks and reminders at the close of any argument.
this artwork is sealed and finished with varnish
a piece alive with texture, colour and movement
durable — can be freely handled
meant for a frame but can stand on its own as well, on a mantle, dresser or corner of a cubicle
three quotes come to mind …
There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties, or you alter yourself to meet them.
— Phyllis Bottome
Avoiding problems you need to face is avoiding the life you need to live.
— Paulo Coelho
It is such a secret place, the land of tears.
— Antoine de Saint-Exupery
ready to hang (there is wire applied in back)
everything from my store comes with an extra art surprise
escape from the dreaming planet ... give the gift of original art
buy from people, not corporations
buy things made by humans, not computers
oh my god, it’s a collage
