Born in 91' and grew up in the English suburbs. I first took an interest in collage when i was about 17 studying art in college. I used to spend a lot of time fishing through fashion magazines and newspapers for material to use.
There is a subconscious freedom that i find in collage. A kind of poetry within the paper that i can manipulate, and it serves as one of my greater outlets of expression. It's the process of creating that i enjoy the most. Guiding myself through the processes that i have created in order to complete a collage. I can watch a story unfold onto the canvas and each time it is completely different. All the materials i use i carefully select, preferabley from old books and other worn materials. I like to incorporate scraps of paper i find and i'm particularly fond of numbers. It's interesting how human psychology and mathematics are very closely related and i feel that there is a strong sense of this within my work. I find myself trying to create a sense of balance in my work, between the order and chaos of the aesthetics. I believe a perfect balance is a perfect composistion.
A lot of inspiration came to me from the collage community of deviantArt so i have a lot of people to thank for that.
Where do you find most of your material for your collage? Personally, I usually search for Life magazines on ebay, but you seem to have a variety of different sources from the looks of things.
I get most of my materials from thrift stores. I used to work in one so they let me have old books for free. Also i look at bootsales which i dont know if you have those in the US. Basically just like giant yard sales. Vintage markets too sometimes are good places for old photographs but they can be a bit pricey.
