Digital images originating in paper and paper collages.
Paper scraps
Archiving and collecting forgotten and worn-out scraps of paper is a habit I’ve grown into in time.
Slowly, a collection of fragile, faded shreds of paper is filed away, each of astonishing beauty. A beauty that sometimes, all of the sudden, becomes noticeable when it is plucked from the stacks of paper folders, digital folders and boxes I’ve stored.
By recombining and sorting the pieces paper on sheets, collages are created by hand or with apps in the course of time. The collages get a dreamlike atmosphere after being stacked in transparent layers that partly conceal each other.
For me, these paper works are a tribute to the beauty of decay, a visual celebration of the fragility of forgotten scraps, and a testament to the infinite possibilities of recombination.
