Briar

Briar, Elspeth Lamb, 2024, collage. A large pink and white rose fills the upper left against a pale pink ground, while an angular red, black, and pink thicket of thorny lines occupies the upper right. Below, a pink silhouetted figure in a white apron-like garment leans diagonally across fields of yellow and blue-grey, with a small solitary pink figure standing at the lower left corner. The palette is dominated by hot pink, mustard yellow, and black against soft blue and pink grounds, giving the composition a flat, graphic quality.
