Collage, 15 x 20cms
At work I collect all the off-cut strips from
the student’s paintings and prints trimmed off on the guillotine. I like the
seemingly random marks and textures left behind, and scoop them up and throw
them in a box, and occasionally encourage the students to use them in collage
or by working on top of them. Lately, I’ve made a few collages myself from
these, inspired by some sketchbook drawings I’ve been working on of factories
overlooking the canal.

The collaged strips of paper are generating some
interesting ideas about representing some of the factories structural forms in
a slightly more imaginative way.
