Elise Wehle

I’m start­ing work on the new Col­lage Scrap Exchange web­site, and I am dig­ging through all my scraps for it. Doing so made me think of the work of Elise Wehle, a col­lage artist. Using pho­tographs, paint, cut outs, and thread, Elise cre­ates intri­cate works that are mul­ti-lay­ered and often dis­tort­ed, giv­ing the feel­ing that they were lost or forgotten.

Much of Elise’s new works spring from 30 Art Project, in which she and friends chal­lenged them­selves to make a dif­fer­ent piece of art every two days until they reached 30 works. A good idea to stay motivated!
