COLLAGE ON VIEW
Katie McCann: Collages
on the Art Wall at Shige Sushi in Cotati, California, USA
27 February-29 April 2018
Katie McCann says about her work:
“I have known such a creature” (Charles Altamont Doyle) is how I start my collages. As a child, I lived in a wonder world of faeries, witches, science fiction and botany. Not much has changed, the only difference being that I now record all of my thoughts and stories in the form of intricately cut and pieced together collages. I am drawn to books, images and pages that are antique, forgotten and foxed with age. I transform these paper memories and records into other worldly creatures who are sometimes static like specimens and at other times are surviving in unique habitats. I am rooted in the tradition of old fashioned childhood, where discovery was at the bottom of the garden in amongst the crushed leaves, the lilac, the beetles and the fungi. I hope that the creatures that I uncovered in that quiet, magical landscape are reflected in my collages.
