cut and paste


Back in the 80s: during and after art college, I would collect scraps of paper, used envelopes, and the like, and would use these to make collage pictures. This approach enabled me to block-in patches of colour or light, added depth and definition to an image. Also at that period I liked to believe I was shunning  "materialism"; I liked the fragility of these products. In fact, few of these pictures survive - most only exist as photographs now.
