Bernal Greetings (Yellow) 2025. Tactile photo collage with “swell” capsule paper, adhesive, cradled wood panel. 12”x12”x0.75"

Bernal Greetings (Yellow) arrives at the edge of a sidewalk curb. The composition offers a distorted perception of depth and direction matched by bright colors and strong geometries. The subject is a curb cut, with parallel navigation guidelines in concrete plus the yellow bumps, known as “truncated domes,” that indicate a street crossing. The street name, “Bernal Heights,” is carved into a triangular grey portion of sidewalk on the right side, next to a central rectangle of bright red curb painted with the words “SFMTA.” Yellow is a dominant color, with abrupt angles created by layering. Caution! The collage stacks yellow triangles onto each other on the left and lower side.  Grey triangular portions of sidewalk cover the right and upper side of the panel. Bernal Greetings (Yellow), 2025, is a square tactile photo collage (12” x 12”) made from touchable “swell” paper adhered to wood.
