This piece has lots of texture from collage and from cold wax and working with water and alcohol spray into the paint layers. When I finished, I thought about Monument Valley--the tall red rocks that rise from the desert floor. Then I thought about Paris, and every city you can name, where monuments, both man-made and natural, are important markers of events and cultures. This is one of those pieces I call a storyboard--hopefully each viewer will create their own story.
