Companion piece to "Baby Superman", "Baby Zod" is showing in the 16th Recycle Santa Fe Juried Art Exhibit, December 5-7, 2014. Step one: concept and inspiration. "Baby Superman" was inspired by the idea of recreating the pod that Superman travels to Earth in as a baby fleeing his home planet. "Baby Zod" ponders a similar journey for General Zod, with varying influences. The companion pieces create a Light vs Dark scenario. Part of the challenge was utilizing found and recycled materials. Step Two: Design layout Step Three: Collage Step Four: Finish work. Create the illusion of technology with bit and pieces of found and recycled material. Details of completed work "Baby Zod": 14" x 11", Mixed media collage
