In a series of four collages - Fish out of water - is made with recycled vintage fashion magazines , books and paper.

I finished my fine arts degree with a major in painting but embraced a more intimate and personal process with small 3D art works , encompassing needlework and collage and domestic items to rework and pastiche a new meaning.

I adore the process of collage and embrace using and recycling old vintage papers and magazines - currently vintage french fashion magazines and discarded books from the 1950's and 60's - the ephemeral and the discarded. That which is fleeting/passing/transitory and impermanent and giving a new life and form.

This body of work specifically looks at consumerism /consumption and waste and the destruction of our environment with one use consumables.Fish out of Water (Series 1 - 4) is a hand-cut collage series using and recycling vintage papers and books.
