Artist Statement -
I’m a paper and digital collage artist who explores the images we see as a part of
the everyday to create surreal worlds and alternate realities within the isolated
space of a room. I’m fascinated by how collage can be used as a tool to understand
our own reality in the age of over saturation and the constant stream of visual
information. By repurposing contemporary and vintage magazines, I keep the
original images while stretching their function, playing with their rich colours,
textures and manipulating the scale and perspective. Collage allows for a
controlled chaos and the tactile cut and paste process can be just as interesting
as its result. Altering the familiar homely environments and hyper reality in
magazine adverts and found imagery, I aim to match the aesthetic of over
saturation while immersing the audience in constructed worlds.
