ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Idem I is a mixed media abstract painting by artist Susan Salo Deutchman. She created the composition by first painting a landscape. She then cut the landscape painting apart and collaged the pieces together. She describes the piece as "composed in order to move your responses from the familiar to the unfamiliar, allowing you to wonder about the unexplained forces which govern life."
