acrylic paint, cotton, silk and glass beads on Arches Cover.
I collaged some Rajasthani fabric with a camel motif across the bottom of the paper and it immediately spoke to me about trade across deserts and mountains, and across millenia. I then painted in figures from several different times in history - the swords make up the little girl's eyebrows. The beads represent things for which we have traded over the centuries.
