Artist Portfolio: Janina Anderson
\nMontreal, Quebec, Canada<\/h2>\n

At the intersection of frugality, utility, and ingenuity, artists have a long history of cutting up their paintings as a means of manifesting new ideas. Janina Anderson weaves cut oil paintings with bound fabric and twine. The resulting objects function at the crossroads of sculpture and fibre arts.<\/p>\n

A portfolio of Anderson\u2019s work appears in Kolaj<\/em> #18. To see this portfolio and others from the issue, SUBSCRIBE<\/a> to Kolaj Magazine<\/em> or Get a Copy of the Issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These woven sculptures are placed directly over the model\u2019s face, obscuring likeness, and eliminating the ability to accurately perceive physical and emotional surroundings.<\/em><\/h2>\n
