Chicks

Yet another collage in my iris series. I can not get enough of this linocut or the image of the flower.

The iris in this collage is literally framed with vintage and found paper. It gives the allusion of a large painting hanging on the wall of a cafe where a young woman waits.

The found Text "Chicks" provides not only the title, but also the idea of youth and naivete.

The was one of my first experiments in cutting the form out of the surrounding paper.
