She Dreamt She was Carried Away Down River

she dreamt she was carried away, down river combines a whimsical scene of young girl drifting along while capturing my interpretation of the salmon’s movements through the swirling, trickling water. After painting the salmon in an expressionistic way, I added hand-cut paper fins, which are lace-like and reminiscent of doilies. I wanted to incorporate a laissez-faire feeling for life but with anticipation of the journey upstream.
