Visual Description of Artwork

This mono-chromatic blue portrait of Ruth Asawa is a combination of oil paint and folded origami paper. The portrait includes Ruth’s shoulders and head. Her shirt is on backwards. Three different sizes of square folded origami units make up her facial features. Ruth’s shoulder length hair, shirt and background are painted in different shades of blues that match the blue colored origami papers of her face. In the background is a shadow of branches without leaves.
