The artwork is a complex and richly detailed collage that incorporates multiple layers and elements all within the framework of a map of Ohio. Dominating the center of the composition is a circular motif that resembles a view through a forest, with barren trees silhouetted against a background of varying shades. This circular space is surrounded by drips of paint that create a sense of depth and texture.
Surrounding the central motif, and the crest of The Ohio State University, are fragments of various other images from , forming a border that integrates different scenes and snippets of visual narratives. These fragments include pieces of text, vintage human figures, natural elements, architectural forms, and abstract designs, all merging to create a multifaceted and visually engaging piece.
If you haven’t seen this in person you are missing out!
This fan favorite is an incredible piece that draw the viewer into a contemplative experience as they navigate through the layers of the collage. Striking from a distance but even more amazing close up. This would be perfect to hang in an area that viewers can spend time exploring all the imagery.
