Spud Original or Print:12" x 12" matte print on 200GSM paper The starting point for this

The starting point for this collage was a handbill with a vintage photograph of a flamenco dancer on it

old typography were what I played with here

and a label from a Robertsons Jam jar

with life stories lovingly sewn into each one

The curve of a woman's smile

Spud Original or Print:12" x 12" matte print on 200GSM paper The starting point for thisThe riggings of a Renaissance ship bisect this potato brown composition (hence 'Spud', the paint chip so aptly named here), with complimentary colours surrounding the main image to create a quiet, contemplative collage. This mixed media collage is a 3 dimensional work, built up from paint chips, vintage hand written letters, copies of textile fragments, scraps of brightly coloured paint palettes and black ink drawings.
