Neighbors

A group of children of mixed ages and colors play a circle game on the sidewalk outside a row of neighborhood houses. As evening falls, the streetlamp waits to turn on, signaling the time all neighborhood kids will be called home for dinner. They finish the last round and we appreciate the serenity of an uncomplicated freedom.

This original, 3 color stencil is sprayed over a collage of digitally manipulated, image transfer photographs. The transfers are adhered over a mixed-media background revealing collaged and painted textures underneath.
