Colorful collage on canvas of Hamlet’s best girlfriend, Ophelia.

Ophelia

12 x 12 x 1.5 inch red, blue, and purple collage on canvas of Hamlet’s best girlfriend, Ophelia.

Most people think of Ophelia as mad, gifting people with flowers and being all cryptic about them before meeting her doom at the bottom of a lake. But before that she was just a girl in love, probably looking a little like this. I played her twice on the stage, so I used my face as the model.

Made with multiple layers of magazine clippings and painted transparency papers. Sides are not collaged, but painted a light blue/green.
