Alders and Winter

Dimension

18" x 24"

Médium

Hand coloured tissue paper collage on panel

I have been exploring the medium of paper collage, a study which has led to a detailed exploration of the winter landscape; the exposure of bare branches, and the few remaining leaves in the winter light. My materials are hand coloured archival tissue papers and glue. I like to discover the effects of layering different colours of papers; the subtle changes from wet to dry, and the differences between tearing and cutting.
 
Alders and Winter is the second of an ongoing series. I aim for a feeling of serenity, representing the landscape I know so well.
