Col­lage is known best as paper-on-paper cre­ations, but there are infi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties with this tech­nique. Often, the mashup of two dis­parate ele­ments makes for the most excit­ing com­po­si­tions, as is the case with Ang­ie Lewin’s exquis­ite works. An illus­tra­tor, print mak­er, and pat­tern design­er, she uses pieces of drift­wood as the back­drop for her print­ed nature-themed imagery. Ang­ie is inspired by the Mid-cen­tu­ry mod­ern move­ment, and its crisp lines and strong shapes offer a strik­ing jux­ta­po­si­tion to the soft, uneven tex­tured sur­face of the wood.

These pieces were orig­i­nal­ly pro­duced as part of A Nat­ur­al Line at the York­shire Sculp­ture Park in 2014. But you can bet I’m keep­ing my eye out for more future works in this vein.
