A series of mixed media collages. By reclaiming and re-using abandoned matter, each piece gives new meaning to the (discarded) found in the environment. Mark making with thread, found papers and stains.

My 10 quick thoughts on creating original collage.
“13 pour” Jenny Davis
1. Just when you think you’ve got it licked, it can change, by adding one tiny piece of paper, or mark.
“Bitter Interception” Jenny Davis
2. Collage can’t be controlled, trust in the doing.
“No” Jenny Davis
3. If you don’t like something tear it off, paint or paste over it.
“Generous Nation” Jenny Davis
4. By elimination, breaking and tearing to restructure the work, you can open up a new vision.
“Clash 3” Jenny Davis
5. Text adds interest and throws it off again. Do you take it literally, or as a design element?
“De’ranger” Jenny Davis
6. Working on the whole collage at once and not just in one area, is more satisfying.
“Clash” Jenny Davis
7. Elements of design come into play too. Colour, shape, texture, line and form.
“84” Jenny Davis
8. When creating collage, I use the same cognitive process as when painting.
“Torn” Jenny Davis
9. It’s all about trusting the creative process, your intuition, taking risks and challenging yourself.
“Paris Burning” Jenny Davis
10. It’s also heaps of fun expressing yourself in this way!

In Transit.
Using trickery and lies, Australian Navy and Customs and Border Protection officers intercepted a boat carrying asylum seekers in December 2012. They were told they would be taken to Christmas island and transferred onto a small lifeboat and handed a document that said: “You only have enough fuel to reach land in Indonesia. You do not have enough fuel to continue your voyage to Australia … if you continue on your journey, the master and crew of your boat will face harsh penalties, which may include a jail term.

The United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention defines a refugee as someone: “owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.”All refugees have been asylum seekers. People who arrive in countries that are signatory to the 1951 Convention, regardless of their method of arrival, are entitled to seek refugee protection. Refugee status determination does not discriminate between how a person arrived in a country and lodged their application.

Black and white study for the collage course I’m doing. We were asked to create a collage using only black and white materials. I loved this exercise and found myself wanting to add some colour…I couldn’t resist and made 2 collages.
I collected 2 canvas boards, black and white vintage papers, wallpaper and newer paper
As in abstract painting, I like to work quickly and not worry too much about leaving marks and splotches as I’m doing. In some areas I made marks with felt pens and white gesso paint trying to blend the different textures and areas.
I also explored Stephanie’s idea and used some glitter paint mixing it with gesso so it became a greyish colour. I like the end result but may go further and sand back the whole lot, giving it a worn-out appearance.

On Monday I start a new art course, “30 Days of Collage” by Stephanie Levy
Image copyright Stephanie Levy 2013
I love creating collage and think this course will help me to free up to experiment and play instead of being so serious and restricted when creating collage. I want to feel free to play with the process without worrying about the end result. Just like when creating my abstract paintings
I love Stephanie’s Art and thought her course would be perfect for this.

I’m really looking forward to the interviews with 10 top collage artists from around the world who will share their tips and give us peeks at their art and arts practice.
We will be creating our own collage materials and learn how to decorate and paint our own unique papers. As well, I get to recycle and use up, my huge collection of vintage papers, fabrics, wallpapers and junk to make beautiful artworks and make room in my studio for new art projects.
