DescriptionA painting combining found materials with oil paint on panel. The painting depicts a surreal scene of a bird-headed woman seated on a couch, with a drink in one hand and a blue egg in the other. The floor beneath her blurs the textures of carpet, grass, branches, and roots. The background is a dusty pink tone and the black couch glows with an orange halo.
