Original artwork description:

My collages are mainly made from monoprints, which I make in batches, without any idea of what they may be used for. Other materials include newspapers and magazines, and sometimes textile fragments, paper napkins, doilies, and any other papers. When I have an idea for an image I search through my collections for those which may be suitable and then cut or tear them into various shapes. The image develops as I work with the materials chosen and each element is glued to the support of paper or board. Sometimes this has an acrylic background painted on to it. This collage was inspired by breakfasts on the terrace of holiday accommodation in Greece. It is varnished and supplied in a narrow white inset, unglazed frame.

Materials used:

Board, acrylic paint
