My life as a fulltime paper, pattern, artist begins!!
I’ve always loved collage, using colours & textures cut from magazines, to create patterns & abstract imagery. By taking the advanced course at The Learning Connexion, I spent a whole year exploring & building a closer relationship with paper (my material) & process (how I work with it), extending my original 2D collage cut & paste process into 3D, via the additional process of folding. I also explored using the whole magazine itself as the material, with surprising results!
From here I’m keen to build much larger folded papers that can become walls, & install them into spaces, perhaps using them as exterior walls for some kind of shelter.
I’m also returning to collage / pattern work on a larger scale, using the printed photo as my material, exploring how these could also become ‘walls’.
