Focus on Melody at Hand and explain the Description.
Melody at Hand is a 2007 mixed media collage by artist India Cruse-Griffin, which depicts a woman in a yellow dress playing a guitar, an open book lying nearby.  Behind her, a fence separates her from rich green landscape and white houses. The work, which measures 37.25" x 49.25", framed, is made from collaged paper gathered from magazines, upon which Cruse-Griffin then paints, often allowing the underlying magazine paper to show through. While her subjects are often clear and straightforward, this collage technique serves as a reminder of the accumulation of lived experience.
