Artwork Description

In this collage I combined the seemingly open space of black, white and grey text fragments from magazines, with an offset windmill patchwork pattern in electric colours. I'm fascinated by our reflex to create stories from fragments, assume a connection or some meaning. Question whether the details are random or chosen, and the way in which as viewers of our world we cannot resist reading into things.

Artist Bio

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.
