Trash

When I make collages, I generate a lot of offcuts. Bits of pages from pages of magazines that didn’t get used. Some of them are entire pages with just one or two little bits cut out of them, others are tiny little scraps of paper that would fit on your fingernail.

Rather than throw these scraps away, I have decided to make a series of new collages made only from paper that I would have otherwise thrown away. I spent a week going through my rubbish (seriously, I generate a lot of offcuts) and have turned those bits of paper into potential materials for new work.

This is an ongoing project and I intend to add more pieces as time goes on, revisiting the project from time to time as I create and collect more and more offcuts.
