"All Are Equal" (9.7in x 7in)

Artist Statement:

The idea behind this piece is that people put others in different categories for different reasons and no matter if someone has something distinct about them, we are all equal.

I made this piece by first painting the background blue, glued on magazine clippings and finally blotting three shades of white together to make clouds. The materials I used were watercolor paint, acrylic paint, mod podge, and magazines.

One process I used while making this piece is repositioning the placing of the magazine pieces and clouds before I painted and glued then down. I think my project evolved with form; the dimension and texture of the clouds make it balanced. I think my next step could be to add some sun source or sun rays for another pop of color.
