This painting looks like a row of tall, colorful columns. Each one is packed with tiny bits of paper—reds, blues, greens, and yellows—stuck together. The edges are uneven, and the colors sometimes bleed into each other. The artist used pressure-sensitive tape to hold the paper scraps in place. It’s not smooth; the texture looks rough and layered, like a collage. Next, look up Alma Woodsey Thomas.
