Vesna Vrdoljak
\nAmsterdam, The Netherlands<\/strong><\/p>\n

STATEMENT<\/p>\n

I describe my collage work as stylish and simplistic. Always working analogue, using old and new magazines, old photos and other found pieces of paper. I cut with the cheapest scissors and use an ordinary glue stick.<\/p>\n

In collage making, I work on my instinct. Everything is allowed there is no right or wrong. I grab images because they appeal to me for no clear reason. I grab another image that I feel to match. I continue until I am satisfied with the result.<\/p>\n

I have 3 categories: subjects (people or animals), backgrounds (shots of nature, crazy motifs), and stuff (shapes, fruit). One time I look for the right colour combination, another time I look for the nicely dressed lady in front of that appealing house.<\/p>\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Collage girl is Vesna Vrdoljak (born 1978) from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Collage making started in 2006, wanting to combine the images she collects and creating new realities.<\/p>\n

Vrdoljak has a Master of Arts degree, with a major in European Film Aesthetics. She has worked in film distribution and for film festivals. She is now working freelance in art and communications.<\/p>\n
