 When I lived in Ann Arbor I haunted a place called Treasure Mart, which just always had interesting stuff. I found two of these wooden trays with holes cut out--I think they were probably some high school shop project. For this one I used things I've found on my walks in NM and tried to make each opening work as an abstract composition.

"Silent City at Bryce Canyon" 18" x 24" acrylic painting collage

On my recent trip to southern Utah I was captivated by the Silent City area where fins of eroding pink rock were succumbing to erosion, and even more interesting were formation of holes or windows.
