Thesissss

Ampersand Fever

So, I had someone ask me about a piece I did a couple years ago in which I tiled Starburst wrappers onto a piece of cardboard and then painted an ampersand on top. I’m not sure whatever happened to the original piece, so I decided to buy a bag of Starbursts and make a new piece…which turned into four pieces…
