Ginger Sedlarova<\/strong><\/a>
I consider myself both a collage artist and a storyteller. Sometimes my work is a short story, sometimes it\u2019s a novel. But it\u2019s always surreal, a love affair with the combination of knife, paper and glue that allows me to construct scenes of absurdity and drama. My practice grew from my love of making photo collages in my former newspaper career as a graphic artist, only now I do this by hand. It\u2019s cathartic to strip images down to their simplest forms and then build them back up again. I love to play and indulge in the unexpected–life is a collage of events, and my work is how I see the world when I close my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seema Shah<\/strong><\/a>
Although I didn\u2019t set out with the intention of becoming a collage artist, my work almost always includes an element of collage. I\u2019m innately drawn to the piecing together of disparate elements to form a new meaning and aesthetic–trying to create something of value from scraps that would otherwise be discarded. The process itself is a metaphor for many aspects of my life and self. Tapping into my subconscious and working intuitively, my collages are layered emotional narratives reflecting my inner landscape. Patterns have emerged in my work over time, including the appearance of recurrent themes, metaphors, and imagery. Though my pieces in this exhibition were created independently of one another, a stream of water and darkness runs through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
