Lindsey Boss STATEMENT I consider collage an obsession of mine. I work primarily based on my own feelings, those that are widely considered “bad”, and use juxtaposing images to convey their beauty and the polarity between the range of all human emotions. I collect vintage books, as the colours and imagery of old books, preferably from the 50s-80s, provide a way for me to relive my own experiences. Although highly personal, I often white out faces and exclude body parts of people in the collages, hoping to leave some of the narrative up to the viewer. I’m addicted to the way it feels to hold scissors and making even the tiniest cut, to glue sticks, and to the shadows created by layering of paper. The process is a temporary escape from my own life, and an attempt to evoke a desire in others to enter the illusory, hopefully haunting, worlds I create. BIO I graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2008 and have been living and working in Boston since. I spend my days working as a sign artist, and my “free” time collaging obsessively. Only just recently, I’m sharing what has been more of a covert practice, and participate in shows when given the opportunity. ARTIST CONTACT (617) 797-7659 IMAGES
