1993

A framed piece of artwork featuring a collage of hand-drawn sketches and notes on lined notebook paper. The sketches include abstract shapes and what appear to be flowers or mushrooms, with handwritten annotations possibly suggesting ideas or concepts. The notes are written in pencil and the drawings include both pencil and colored pencil. The overall composition has a spontaneous and conceptual feel, suggesting the early stages of a creative process.
