“Passing Train”
Collage, fabric, paper, ink, clippings, crayons; 28 in x 13 in
Many elements in this piece touch upon the Orphan Train. There’s a traveling train, a map, and elements of the city. It uses individual images collaged together then drawn over to form a balanced design. The image captures movement that gives it a three-dimensional quality. The artist has a good eye for design and shows thinking out of the box.
