This is a new series inspired by the South American literary school, made famous by a number of well known authors such as, Gabriel Garcia Marques and Isabel Allende. I am creating a suite of collages and mixed media pieces that will result in a visual version of magic realism. These pieces will combine paint, digital photography, hand made paper and elements from nature such as leaves and twigs to reveal dream-like imagery. I will combine abstract and realistic panting styles in the development of my imagery. These mixed media pieces add mysterious elements of magic into the world of realism.
