WALKWAY - Original Collage
Paper Collage on Plywood • 5.25 x 5.25 in
Created on location during a plein air painting session, this original paper collage captures the expansive view across the Salt Lake Valley from a hillside overlook. A gently curving pedestrian walkway leads the eye through the foreground before giving way to layers of distant neighborhoods, foothills, and mountains that gradually soften into the horizon. The shifting light and atmospheric perspective create a quiet sense of depth, inviting the viewer to pause and take in the landscape.
Handcrafted from individually layered paper fragments and mounted on a wood panel, this one-of-a-kind artwork transforms an everyday overlook into a study of light, distance, and place. The collage process emphasizes subtle shifts in color and texture, encouraging close observation while preserving the feeling of standing above the valley and watching it unfold below.
