Kenya Collage

Kenya

12" by 16"

mixed media collage on canvas

This collage was made from a picture my cousin took while in Kenya.  Her photography is always stunning and as a wedding gift I decided to play with one of them.  The original is black and white as you can see below, so the idea came to bring color and a looser approach to the lines.  The only strong detailing would be a few facial features, the faucet, and the bottom hem line on the center figures dress.  As for all of my collages, I use children's picture book sleeves and include at least one bar code, often hidden in the background.
