"Singing Reverence: A Tissue Paper Tribute to Augusta Savage's 'Lift Every Voice and Sing'"

My collage pays homage to the iconic work "Lift Every Voice and Sing," also referred to as "The Harp," crafted by the talented African-American artist Augusta Savage. Inspired by the profound impact of this plaster sculpture, I embarked on a creative journey, pushing the boundaries of my artistic abilities through the medium of tissue paper collage. With time and effort, I sought to capture the essence and power of the original piece, endeavoring to recreate its evocative presence in a fresh and dynamic way. This collage stands as a testament to the enduring significance of Savage's artwork and serves as a personal exploration of the tissue paper collage technique's potential for artistic expression.
