©2006 Shari Morfin - This is a contemporary, mixed media, original work of art perfect for bringing serenity into your home's decor. My goal in creating this piece was to create a striking and strong pattern and to provide an artsy feel by printing the work on mounted canvas. Hope is a one of a kind work, which will not be reproduced on canvas again (except for my own personal collection.) This collage features a photograph of a peaceful, golden buddha statue which was digitally altered into a number of different versions with exposures, effects and crops that were perfected in various editing programs. The best of these were then combined and arranged in a template for extra symmetry and pattern. A glossy print was made on Kodak Endura silver based paper, the emulsion of which is then heat & pressure bonded to museum quality canvas and gallery wrapped on a wooden artist canvas.
