27cm H x 22 cm W 9 inches H x 7.25 inches W Collage on Canvas Board Copyright © 1998-2007 Juana Almaguer I haven't settled on a title yet. Titles are difficult for me. I wish I could just give everything a date as a title but that seems impersonal. This collage is done with rice paper, Japanese watercolors, acrylic, and ephemera (face and wings). The face and wings are images I found in magazines. The wings were covered with textured rice paper, and I painted the face to add color. I used the body of a rice paper painting I had done last month and various hand-painted rice paper sheets in this collage. There was a lot going on in my mind while I was doing this piece. I would be interested in hearing your interpretations of what this piece means to you.
