About this work

This looks like a decorated paper bag standing upright. One side has a bold red flower with yellow outlines and a green stem. The other side has blue and white stripes with a swirly green leaf. The bag’s edges are crinkled, and there’s a small signature in the corner. The bag’s plain brown surface hides a corn husk inside, which might make it feel like a real object. The bright colors and simple shapes stand out against the rough texture. If you like this, check out G. Peter Jemison.
