Hand cut collage using gloss photo paper and perforated with ordered small cutouts like windows illuminated with recycled and vintage papers
Collage especially allows a reworking and pastiche to make a new story or 'paint' a new picture. I use the process and opportunities that collage allows and embrace using and recycling vintage books, papers and magazines - often vintage French fashion magazines, (self-collected while living in France) and discarded books from the 1950's and 1960's - the ephemeral and the discarded. That which is fleeting or passing and impermanent and giving new life and form - a new story.
My smaller collage studies are often the first steps and stepping off points for larger works and new series.
I am a painter by degree and really love the process of painting, however, I love paper, so primarily using paper (often mixed with ink, mixed media and occasionally paint) in place of a traditional painted image, to make a new story. I adore the unlimited possibilities of using paper and the process of analogue collage, mixing media and showcasing these historical ravages and marks of time with using vintage and recycled papers.
Sold individually, however, hang beautifully as a group.
All artwork taken without perspex to minimise reflection - artworks subsequently look even better under the perspex!
