Ctrl + V:
A Collage Exhibition

In a world saturated with images, we borrow, steal, splice, and remix to make sense of the noise. Ctrl + V brings together a group of artists who revel in the cut-and-paste ethos, where scissors are scalpels, glue is intention, and nothing is ever just one thing.

Whether you work with vintage magazines, found photos, Photoshop, or glue stick chaos, we want to see how you slice up the world and reassemble it. This show is about creative disruption, unexpected juxtapositions, and the beauty of fragments.

Opening in May!

We would really love you to see what we have been making.

My assemblages are found objects, toys, blocks of wood, scrabble bits etc., from op shops and garage sales and bits and pieces that I have hung on to for years.  I found people were very interested in what I was doing and that they were very generously gifting me some objects to use.

The collage characters are from found images in old books that I have collected for years.  I made a series of these characters about 15 years ago and have just revisited making these again.  I have added some wood blocks on the back of them to give them some distance from the wall which makes for more interesting shapes and shadows.  The character collage works in Fairfield are displayed on blocks because I do not have a wall behind to hang them however blocks can be supplied and more permanently secured to the characters if you wish.  I personally love the lone figure sitting unexpectedly on a wall.

Very, very sadly, I have not been gifted any old books or ephemera with pictures of animals or people or birds or dancers that would be good for collage. 🙁

Mouse.   Character Collage with block attachment on the back as wallart.  $50

Please keep in mind that I am still available to do workshops in art with beginners or more experienced in various Media.  See my pages for works on paper, painting etc.

You can do a one on one class, a one off class, series of four classes or ongoing fortnightly classes to suit your needs.

Thanks for visiting, Wishing you all a fabulous December. 🙂
