Piece description from the artist
i created this piece for an exhibit titled "Bloom." I knew that I had enough time to make the piece, so I was relaxed. As the date grew closer and closer however, none of the prints seemed to work together. I threw caution to the winds and began adhering small pieces of collage to the papers. It turned out to be the key. When I printed the collaged papers, the resulting textures brought the piece together.
