Hi, this is Janice McDonald.

 

I make elegant collages with salvaged materials, collected from my daily life and wanderings. I'm most attracted to imagery that yields great color, texture or shape. Much of this content comes from areas that were not intended to be the subjects of a photo I may be evaluating. I think that's largely because my artist uncle taught me to draw by studying the negative spaces around a subject and I continue to incorporate that way of seeing and thinking in my collage work.

This series was inspired by the work that I've been doing in my collage diary in recent years. I wanted to explore that sensibility of dynamic composition and scale it up to create larger, more refined, collage images. 

 

Thanks for listening.
