Newport is a 36 x 36 inch torn paper collage inspired by the energy and spirit of the Newport Jazz Festival. Centered around a dynamic jazz vocalist surrounded by musicians and audience fragments, the work uses layered paper, photographic imagery, and bold bursts of color to evoke the spontaneity and rhythm of live performance. Brass instruments, guitars, stage lights, and cheering crowds emerge and dissolve across the composition, creating a sense of movement and improvisation. Rich in texture and atmosphere, the collage becomes both a celebration of musical collaboration and a reflection of the communal joy and vitality of jazz itself.
