Tim Harper’s Artist Portfolio
Collage artists are brilliant at collecting, interpreting, and rehabilitating print ephemera. Tim Harper does this with object material culture. “I collect things that I find interesting: scrap wood and metal, pieces of machinery, dried vegetation and flowers, anything I think has some visual potential. These become my library of materials,” wrote the artist. A portfolio of Harper’s work appears in Kolaj 32 and the assemblage, Three Wheel, appears on the cover.

My very favorite thing is to show a piece at a gallery and have someone tell me what kind of story they see.
