“Blossom” is a folk art styled representation of human cooperation and helpfulness that literally combines earnest, outreaching hands in a grouping that forms a flower blossom. The blossom stretches up through the grass toward a glowing sun, seen through parting dark clouds, imagined as a rebirth into the light.
“Madonna of Money”
18 x 13 inches; Collage and foil leaf on found antique photo, found metal frame and cording
$500.
*Virtual only
This image was built on a found antique photo in its original oval metal frame. The mother and child have haloes, and their clothing is a collage of biblical scenes of tribulation, with the clothing’s trim consisting of images from currency. A bishop in the lower corner signals the offer to exchange money for redemption.
“New York City Madonna”
5 x 7 inches (not including frame); Collage and fake flowers and apples, antique metal frame and braided cording
$300.
*Virtual only
This image is a take on a “patron saint” for the Big Apple. The “Madonna” figure carries her Starbucks and consults her phone, while her clothing is constructed from a subway map and her background is graffiti-like; her antique frame is adorned with red roses - and apples, of course.
