acrylic, paper and upcycled canvas on canvas
more commentary on urban yearning for nature....
a bright blue night sky, splattered with white paint (stars). a black-and-white split ring of canvas adhered to the top right corner (moon). a magazine clipping of industrial studio lights glowing above blue darkness, turned vertically and cut in a descending, square pattern (city buildings and stairs). they lead down to the "forest", made not of trees, but of three long black humanoid figures, who stand together, reaching their arms to the sky like branches, and stretching so far that their arms leave the canvas--even higher than the moon.
