Original artwork description:

18 inch medium format square. The folded image of a female fashion model's face becomes a cycloptic Origami portrait with a nod to Pablo Picasso's 1936 "Le Chapeau de paille au feuillage bleu"
The palette is in striking shades of violet, with stripes of red, ochre, orange, blue, green with one big brown eye and a black rimmed eye and hat. A tromp l'oeil cartoon ensues. . . Compelling interest in collage's potentially torqued and fragmented spaces prompts the use of collage as a reference and subsequently the subject. The alternative photos show Folded Feature with Go Forage George and Italian Girl in Polka Dot blouse both based on collages.
