TO CUT, TO PASTE, TO PLAY

EVERYDAY

Recently landed: To cut, to paste, to play

With the second of two school holiday workshops, torn and pasted, there is time to look back at what was. Presented by the NGV Creativity Club, the tables were layered with so many collage materials that they, too, almost became collages. We enjoyed seeing so many differing worlds unfurl before our eyes, and created at such a pace!

Continuing reading on Marginalia.

Seeing a river made from different shards of blue, lemurs under pieces of yellow cellophane, and ladybirds with runaway dots. Seeing the different ways one prompt can be interpreted and played with, the workshops, both, did all but fly.

I have been collaborating with Louise Jennison since 1999, making artists’ books, collages, large-scale installations, prints, drawings, zines, and various tales. Besotted still, it appears, with paper for its adaptable, concealable, revealing nature, we use an armoury of play, the poetic and familiar too, with the intention of luring you into our A(rtists’ books) to Z(ines).

As artists and wildlife carers, our practice frequently concerns the natural world, addressing themes of conservation and biodiversity. Our home-based studio is also home to our wildlife shelter, Tiny but Wild.

I collage with words about dance for Fjord Review.
