A Hundred Flowers Ohio Collage Show

"Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom"
11 x 14"
I'm excited about the Oho Collage Society Show that opens this Sunday in Mansfield. This is one of my entries in the show.
The title refers to a brief time in Chinese history when Chairman Mao encouraged different and competing ideologies to voice their opinions about the issues of the day. Unfortunately the result of the Hundred Flowers Campaign was the persecution of intellectuals, officials, students, artists and dissidents in the ensuing years.
My collage includes hand painted paper and appropriately joss paper. Joss paper is burned in traditional Chinese funerals, to ensure that spirit of the deceased has lots of good things in their afterlife.
