Sunday Girl, a pop up exhibition  at Corban Estate Art Centre. A massive thank you to the curator Leela Bhai  and to everyone who came along. This is my piece: ‘a woman work is never done’ please zoom in for the details!

This is the first collage I ever created. It was made in a 1-day collage workshop in Colville about 10 years ago. At the time I was getting over a relationship break-up. The workshop was a random form of self-care during a difficult and emotional time. As you might know,  I caught the bug and haven’t stopped collaging since then. I started with cutting up old magazines and glueing them onto cardboard but very quickly I got into my collection of art books and glued them onto wood panels. I received lots of encouragement and support from the community around me ( Coromandel you are forever in my heart ! ). A decade later, I’m running collage workshops for a living. I get a real kick watching other people collaging. Each of us is so unique,  and so are the collages we make. The more I do this, the more I discover how powerful and versatile collage is.
