Garden of Eden bowl – cut paper collage by Carolee Asia
ARIZONA---Tucsonan Carolee Asia will be the featured artist at the Tohono Chul Park Welcome Gallery Nov. 14 through Feb. 15. In her colorful cut paper collages, “I enjoy the play of images on all kinds of structures such as cubes and vases, platters and gourds,” Asia says in her artist’s statement. “The compositions are originally suggested by the size and shape of the basic shapes I find, and the color palette comes together as if the medium was paint.” The collages resemble tile work or ceramics due to a final application of a heavy resin varnish. Many of her pieces incorporate Hebrew calligraphy. [link]
