Sheila Perelman

STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a collage artist living in Yonkers, New York for the past 30 years. I am currently retired but worked as a psychotherapist for twenty years enveloped in the world of psychology, a process of probing and searching, always looking for deeper meaning, a process which has naturally found its way into my collages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work primarily with papers from magazines and books, initially searching for one thing that catches my eye, perhaps psychologically and visually. With these materials, I begin to work without glue, adding more pieces, shifting, changing, adding to the collage, until something clicks and I begin to understand what I am striving for, where to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I consult books on dream imagery at times for connections to the unconscious. It is always an amazing journey and when it is finished, I begin the gluing, with so many pieces, always a challenge, but never dull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For many years I created decorative baskets which were displayed and sold in various parts of the U.S., primarily in the Southwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have also studied drawing, finally finding my way to collage after having seen an exhibition of Jess at the Whitney Museum where the fit, for me, was like coming home, a place of enormous intrigue and exploration that has become my lifetime journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have exhibited my collages in various venues in Westchester County, New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
