This whimsical piece probably fits a definition of collage more than my other work. www.artincontext.org/collage-art/#:~:text=Collage%20within%20art%20was%20first,cutting%2Dedge%20assemblages%20around%201910

 I combined Found Objects with coloured paper, cardboard, old book pages, and my own handwriting. I took the colour theme from the green and gold of the frame. www.framedestination.com/blog/picture-frames/a-brief-history-of-picture-frames I kept to a common idea throughout my work of a juxtaposition of the ornate (the frame) with plainer industrial elements (metal locks and doorknob plates). I like the decorative part of the key, which is a microcosm of the utilitarian versus decoration, 8”x 10”.
