Statement

This was painted along side of Carla's Chair to juxtapose the idea of a surrealist landscape with a traditional one. They are both layered with patterns. In this painting, for instance, I took a fern and repeated its pattern changing its color or posture. In the end I concluded there is very little difference between the two styles expect in there outcomes.
