Artist: Allan Bealy (Canada - United States)
Title: SERAPH
Date: 2019
Medium: Analog collage with vintage materials and transfers on Bristol

SERAPH fits loosely into my Dharma series, which reflects an interest in chaos and spirituality. There is an intended relationship between the angelic center and entropic elements that suggest the inevitability of seasonal, if not permanent, change. There should be room for reflection and personal interpretation.
