Harriet Moutsopoulos STATEMENT My process begins by finding the trigger for each piece. This is usually a single image that really catches my eye, grabs me by the throat, and triggers the all important starting point. Remixing the old with the new to create new truths, I organise and reorganise until it “feels right”. I don’t use Photoshop or Illustrator. My tools of choice closely mimic analog techniques. It’s like working with your hands in the traditional sense. BIO Australian born and bred, I am a self-taught collage artist who works under the name Lexicon Love. I love collage art essentially because I enjoy the process. I am drawn to the surreal and unsettling and try to inject that into my work where possible, always seeking out the unexpected connections between humour and tragedy. Ultimately, it’s the way in which collage art challenges traditional notions of aesthetics, which I find most appealing. ARTIST CONTACT [click to email] IMAGES
