FROM KOLAJ 26

“Fairy tales, legends, dreams and the surreal worlds they evoke have always been a part of the human experience; a way to make sense of our surroundings and explain our fears,” writes Julie Liger-Belair. “As a child, these captured my imagination, weaving themselves into the fabric of my personality. Because of this, I am today a collector at heart, constantly collecting fragments of ideas and objects, each with their own little stories to tell. By combining them in different ways in my pieces, they form new narratives and meanings.” A portfolio of her work appears in Kolaj 26.
