Paper — Rebecca Angel

paper + colour + movement

Rebecca’s processes, both past and present, are reflected in the textures and techniques of her paper collages, and she is drawn to the act of assembling. She prefers to work on several projects simultaneously, surrounding herself with paper in a spectrum of shades, depths, and density of colour. Working this way allows a sense of loss to interact with forward movement to reanimate the former lives of her materials, as flawed as they may be.

From a distance, her colour-based art suggests clarity and pureness of form; a closer look reveals subtle memories hidden in rough edges and layers of paint. Rebecca finds that collage offers her structural opportunities where the process is as important and significant as the end result, which can sometimes be re-translated yet again into a new and original textile.
