When I’ve been working away on the computer for a while and neglecting the more hands-on part of me, I find that some good old cutting and glue-ing gets me back into an experimental, playful, freer self that I have put on the back burner for a while.

It seems that collage literally lets me tear up the world around me and put it back again in a way that suits me and my own ways better.

These two are a couple of the pieces that I’ve been playing with this week, in between emails and planning for future projects. They’re phone photos of works in progress so apologies for the blurryness…
