Cordula Kagemann STATEMENT Working with paper and collage accommodates my love for colour, pattern and form. I am fascinated by the materiality and haptic qualities of paper and fibers and of the textures they develop in the process of creating. A sense of this process is revealed to the viewer as the work is build up through layering. I am captivated by the endless possibilities the work with paper is offering. I make my own papers but I also collect all kinds of prefabricated papers and print material. In the process paper is transformed. Material, colour, textures, words and images are entering into a dialogue with one another, overlapping one another and are finally connecting and bonding into a compositional unit. My art is about the daily process of life the collecting of everyday occurences and experience as well as the process of remembering and forgetting. BIO I am a collage/paper artist and educator from Germany. I studied visual arts and education at the University of Bremen, Germany. I teach collage and paper arts and have worked in numerous sociocultural art projects with children and adults. I maintain a studio at home where I live in an almost 300-year-old house in the countryside in Lower Saxony. My artwork has been shown in solo exhibitions in Germany, as well as in international group shows in different parts of the world. I am a member of IAPMA (International Association of Handpapermakers and Paper Artists). ARTIST CONTACT [click to email] IMAGES
