Tuscan Hills (2024)Collage
by Dee Evans

My my mixed media collages are made from original monoprints, other printed material, newspapers and sometimes textile fragments. I make the acrylic monoprints in batches without any idea of what they may be used for. When starting a painting I often paint an acrylic background and then select some collages papers I wish to use. These are then cut or torn in a random or pre-defined way and reassembled to form an image, which is generally semi-abstract. The composition is not defined at the beginning but arises organically, as I work with various prints and papers. The process is quite time consuming and sometimes I spend some time searching for the perfect piece of paper to finish the collage. This particular work was inspired by the view from a holiday home in Italy. The finished work is supplied in a white mount and is ready for framing.
