What Angel Do You Look Towards When You Are Damning Your Tears, Sweet Sis

2016

Abstract artwork featuring a collage of various shapes and textures. There are purple and brown circular shapes connected by a yellow line, resembling a branch with berries, against a cream background. Blue paint strokes cross the image, and there are additional blocks of color, including a red-brown square with a turquoise circle, a dark blue scribble, and a light blue rectangle with a green smudge. The piece has a playful, experimental feel with its bold lines and contrasting colors.
