Opals

Based on a traditional quilt pattern, this collage was inspired by the colours of opals. I loved making this piece, utilising all of my favourite colours and creating a dreamy landscape that tricks the eye with its shifting light. It's part of my ongoing obsession with mimicking crystals in three dimensional geometric collage made from used magazines.

I am a multi media artist born in Haifa, in Occupied Palestine. I paint, draw, and make abstract paper collages from hand-cut magazines. I like abstracts: geometric patterns, colour transitions and chaotic arrangements. This extends to my love for painting 'backgrounds', which have become nebula paintings. I like sparkles, kitsch, pretty scenes and figures but especially when accompanied by jarring detail. This is self reflexive romantic projection. When collaging, I love the way I can never run out of material to cut up, with lots of luscious detail and random words. This kind of cut-and-paste is always giving me new ideas. The other side of the piece of paper is often just perfect. My gallery reflects a fixation with maximalism, patterns , and colour transitions, whether in acrylic or in paper mosaic, or both.
