My collages are all made by hand with Xerox photocopies, a scalpel, glue, and an eye for the absurd.
The imagery you see comes from original Victorian marbled paper, furniture and objects that I photograph myself, plus some found imagery. A large part of my creative process is using a humble photocopier, which is how I create different colours, and change the scale of my imagery. I see it as my paintbrush and palette.
With a bank of imagery and photocopies, I go to work. I have no idea what images will come about, I don’t see any finished pieces in my head, it all happens simply through time spent ‘making’. The work that comes through is sometimes camp, cosmic or comic, and sometimes romantic and apocalyptic.
I follow pure intuition and believe in instinct as the purest creative force in all of us.
