paper collage; 7×7″

“Small collage, BIG anxieties. The little all-of-us face peeking out from the maelstrom knows: Yes, things ARE as bad as they seem. The pieces forming the swirling chaos come from a photo of a single green peacock feather. Coincidence? Or is there a giant preening peacock on the loose?”

ARTIST BIO: Ann Sullivan is a graduate of Miami University, a University of Cincinnati retiree, and a long-time resident of Cincinnati. She made her first collage 10 years ago in response to vivid, recurring dreams. She enjoys bringing together photographic images that seem random and unrelated. As each composition evolves, new possibilities suggest themselves, and the completed collage often becomes something unexpected.
