FROM KOLAJ #19
Olivia Descampe’s Artist Portfolio
Selections from Olivia Descampe’s “Botanical Catwalk” series grace the front and back of Kolaj #19. In the series, Descampe relies solely on vintage fashion photography and botanical illustrations. With powerful source material, the collage in this series allow newness to manifest in the pairings. The empty white background amplifies the bold colours. A portfolio of Decampe’s collage appears in the issue.
