“ Awaken and Sleep” is an original hand made Collage from The Passage Collection. Highly detailed it is created with hand cut photographs and papers, and finished in hand poured resin. This unique work measures 32 x 32 cm and is framed in a custom crafted 5 cm deep frame.
The works in The Passage Collection ask the question, ‘as the invisible emerges ….which path will you take?' These works developed from walking extensively in nature, taking time to allow the essence of the land to sink in.
The resulting Collages explore the intersection points of nature and the human form, the merging of the inner and outer realms of our daily life.
The Collages use a combination of cut photographs from my travels, hand cut papers, ink and gouache. Each piece is entirely created by hand, layering the papers and photographs, then adding details with inks. After the meticulous gluing process, they are then sealed in a hand poured resin finish.
Each one of these works is a journey to connection, reaching through the dark void to connect with this beautiful life.
