Salt Tree

An abstract composition built from layered paper fragments, dominated by a repeating orange-and-black diamond-lattice pattern that covers most of the surface, interrupted by a dark inked passage in the upper left and thin ruled lines across the upper right. Near the bottom, a bare, gnarled tree trunk with exposed roots sits above a horizontal band of dark reddish-brown, with a spare linear branch sketched in black at the right and a curved, blade-like black form at the lower left. The palette is muted—rust orange, black, cream, and brick red—giving the piece a weathered, collaged texture. Mixed media collage on board; artist Paul Furneaux; title *Salt Tree*; year unknown.
