Pods, Lemons, and Birds | rbookerstudio

Minimal in content yet decorative in design, this work reflects the colors and patterns of the Southwest and popular culture which influenced his body of work. The pieces use a combination of commercial colored tissue paper, Japanese and Korean handmade paper, and simple iconic images of lemons, pods, birds, and flowers in acrylic.
