Crissy Arseneau describes herself as someone who \u201coften strives for order but only occasionally finds it.\u201d The hard edges and tight compositions of her \u201cCloud City\u201d series come out of a period of experimentation with abstract watercolour. Cutting up these studies led her to the sense of order she was looking for. She writes, \u201cCollage is a practice of limitations with unlimited outcomes. The limitations I\u2019ve set for most of my current work is watercolour paper, both left unpainted and hand-painted with watermedia, that is then hand-cut and assembled. Each piece is an invitation to the viewer to look up and take in their world at the pace of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
