\u201cOne of the most arresting visuals for me is an old wall layered with papers, graffiti and text\u2014our modern hieroglyphics,\u201d said Jill Ricci. From Asbury Park, New Jersey, USA, the artist found collage \u201cby happy accident\u201d. She said, \u201cI was working on a design project in Chicago, and creating a textured wall, using tissue paper, plaster and acrylic glazes. I ran out of tissue paper and went to a thrift store close by and picked up a load of old sewing patterns. I loved the patterns created by layering these, and began a series of large abstract works using the sewing patterns and other mediums.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By combining elements of advertising ephemera, hand-stenciled papers, global motifs, design and abstraction, I find a way to create work that feels both ancient and modern.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
