Arizona is a 30 x 48 inch torn-paper collage from the artist’s Color Schemes series, inspired by the deserts and open landscapes of the American Southwest. Through intersecting lines, arcs, and layered geometric forms, the work evokes the blazing light, expansive skies, and sculptural terrain of Arizona without depicting the landscape literally. Warm earth tones contrast with vivid blues, suggesting canyon walls, distant horizons, and desert atmosphere, while black linear contours move through the composition like a visual map of shifting shadows and organic forms. Both modern and meditative, the collage captures the stillness, openness, and quiet intensity of the desert through abstraction and rhythm.
