J. Bergquist Paper Paintings

I work with paper, cutting, tearing, slicing, and layering to create 2-D dimensional images. Get close and see that the texture, depth, light and shadow are developed through the layering, texture and choice of colored paper.
 
 

Fighting Peacocks

The drama of the tails and orange wings as the peacocks lift into the air to fight. Using paper to create Iridescences, and cut paper to create the drama of their large, long, and full tail feathers.
