Buon martedì a tutti, miei cari Zeldiani!
Oggi è una giornata da occhi spalancati e sorriso a fior di pelle: è con noi Vivienne Strauss, che ci parla del suo amore per i collages. Collages bellissimi, di cui sono letteralmente innamorata! Ne possiedo uno dedicato alla scrittura e sono in attesa di appenderlo al “muro delle macchine da scrivere”. Che stia cominciando una collezione?!
Potete interagire con Vivienne sul suo blog e su facebook.
Ammirare e, perché no, acquistare le sue opere su flickr e etsy (qui e qui).
Baci molto belli a tutti!

While I consider myself primarily a painter, I do love to also work in collage. I find it to be a nice break from painting and it also allows me to express ideas that would not be possible in other mediums. I love combining human and mechanical elements in my work and also finding the human in the mechanical.
Inspired by the Ernest Hemingway quote “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed”.
This is a “self portrait” – my mind is always racing in so many directions, and I am always rather frantic that I won’t remember to complete all my ideas or that there just isn’t enough time in which to do them.
I love finding the “human” in objects like this piece. I also do this when I’m out and about taking photos. So many man made things look like creatures and often trees look as if they have faces…
Vivienne
Mi ritrovo molto in The sacrificial secretary e nella citazione che l’accompagna! Belli tutti i collages, brava Vivienne.
ciao ila bella <3
Vivienne: Hemingway’s quote is genius! I felt that way every day I was writing my master’s thesis :-) I love collage as well, ever since I took a workshop in San Francisco. We had all sorts of old Life magazine pages to destroy!
Camilla: ciao :)
uh, ciao!!
