Paper Collage Multimedia

 Strike A Pose, is a multimedia art work including the composition of collectables transformed by a surreal perspective incorporating pattern and nudes in paper collage for a symbiosis of playful artmaking.

Original Idea for Strike A Pose 1997 Sketchbook drawn with oil pastel

My sketchbooks are full of ideas and drawings, sketched from my surroundings as well as quick sketches from attending  'life drawing nudes' a group of artists humbled for 3 hour sessions by the muses who pose for us from 1 minute hold poses to about 20 minutes.

Household objects featured in 'Strike A Pose'

'Strike A Pose' uses a variety of mediums to create the playful composition.  I cut out pages of an old French art book about master painters such as Renoir and Chagall seen in black and white in the painting. Various decorative papers & sheer fabric where also added for details.
