Janice Kun - Shedding Layers for Spring
Janice Kun has created these two new pieces which include elements of drawing, collage, watercolor, and photography. The elements are digitally manipulated in Photoshop and combined with multiple effects layers. Janice wanted to allude to the search for a truer sense of self and the shedding of the layers of constraint. Spring often seems to be a natural time for transformation and transition- a stripping away of the old to make way for the new.
