I like this. I like the splashes of red which are I have to say very well balanced.

Thanks for the feedback Dawn. I turned to collage / mixed media as a break from paint. Now I find I'm incorporating paint back in with my mixed media pieces. The layering of this piece began on a loosely painted acrylic surface. Some of my later work now includes paint on top of the collaged pieces or the elemnts are painted beforehand and then applid to the support.

This is a mixed media piece recreating the view from the plane to Melbourne in 2013. I was amazed by the repetition of harvested circles in the landscape where machines are set to work automatically throughout the day and night. The "phallic" shaped plots at the bottom of the picture were exactly like that, reminding me of the apocryphal stories of crop circles. Obviously one farmer was having a laugh! The piece has been framed with a raised glass cover which stands about 1cm proud of the surface, thus accommodating the raised and textured elements of the collage.
