GROUP SHOW

This spring, I had the opportunity to show some new works at the Cascade Park Community Library in Vanouver, Washington. Over the past three years, I've taken several hundred images from their original contexts and used them in new configurations of collage or stored them for future use. In "Group Show," this hoarding behavior is exploited and explored, recontextualizing the accumulated images and finding connections between previously made collages. The resulting crowds and clusters are fictional groupings and collections, examining hypothetical interactions from an outsider's point of view.

This One Is About Ice Cream


Boys, Boys, Boys


Girls, Girls, Girls


Wedding Party


Stockpiles


Something In The Water (Expedition/Swim Team/Best Boat)


Bunch Of Losers


Out To Dry


Men Dreaming Of Flight


In The Lab


Held In The World's Smallest Rubber Hand


Hover Wall (I & II)


*I don't have a great camera or equipment or editing software, hence the less-than-great quality, but I am doing the best I can. A couple of these images had already been scanned, which is why they look better than the others in the group. Everything looks perfect in person, though.

Etsy-fied

Hi everyone/anyone,

After lots of consideration, I've decided to sell some of these original collages! Not all of them, but some. I have 15 listed in the shop so far, and more will come soon. They can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HandmadeMythos

Prints of all the collages, in varying sizes, are still available through Society6: http://www.society6.com/FrenchForGluing
Also, these prints are now more available in larger sizes, as I'm in the process of rescanning each collage to a higher quality and swapping the jpegs on Society6.

Please keep the idea of purchasing one of a kind artworks in mind as the holiday season is... well I suppose it's already here, isn't it? Buying work from artists is a gift to the artist, too.

Thanks,
Colleen
