Unnamed Territory, a series of ten collages
Textile, Paper, Ink & Pigment
2015-17
These collages are the result of three years of life. Imagine all those events, happenings, thoughts and feelings that occur over time and here is the result — an unnamed territory. The textiles used to form the collage are as diverse in origin as those events, as is the paper and ink, originally from Japan. These pieces have journeyed with me to India and parts of Europe becoming the diary of my soul. Poetry, mark making, painting has been imagined on the surface at one time, only to be re formed into a new surface and landscape. As life transforms itself endlessly, so these collages have morphed through many phases to settle here.
