Collage-Mixed Media
Beginning with paper, some handmade
from the plants in my back yard to the
found papers in recycling bin, I sand, alter
and manipulate the surfaces. Textures are
formed by adding gesso, molding pastes
and acrylics. My collage works are in a
constant state of flux with each papermaking
session. Exposed and always revealing I’m
at the mercy of the raw torn papers edge.
Visual and physical entries grow from the
self-discovery, new compositions stem
from the need to take a risk and explore. I
am passionately stimulated by the natural
flow of chaos that each piece starts with
allowing me the
opportunity
to
pretend to solve
the mystery that
presents itself to
be explored.
