Lunch Break in Les Tuileries Jessie McNeilVancouver, BC Prix du choix du juré Dimension 14.25" x 19" Médium Collage on paper “Lunch Break in Les Tuileries” is an example of McNeil’s fresh and detailed approach to capturing life in urban environments. With the medium of collage, the artist examines the variations of colour, movement and texture in the world around her. The brilliant August mid-day light in this Parisian park dances over the two women taking part in an everyday ritual of eating lunch. After capturing these types of scenes with her camera, she recreates the moment later in her studio, by assembling tiny pieces of printed media.
