Baila Goldenthal : Collages : Desert Walls |

|
Desert Walls – a direct result of a trip through the Southwest desert areas of Arizona and New Mexico. The pieces are worked with tile, brick, straw and plaster, and metal or glass, sometimes adding photographs of walls or doors from pueblos and old mining towns. These photos are references to time and space and embody the contemporary expression of trompe-l'oeil. |
