About the Item
Artist Comments
A seventh-grade algebra homework, a book page, acrylic paint, and charcoal constitute artist Libby Ramage's whimsical mixed-media piece. She affixes pages of her youngest son's homework over this surrealist painting. She paints a boy holding the wings of a giant albatross and facing it by the beak. Libby paints an uncanny fantasy of these two with much charm and wit.

Artist Drew McSherry pictures an enigmatic profile of a face. It appears to be a creature with its mouth agape. His process begins with loose sketching and blotting to achieve a smudged effect. Drew layers pastel over the work to enrich the darker colors.
