Wallpaper Collage
2006 - 2010
My friend Helle new I was ripping up teabags for artwork and one day she rang out of the blue with excitement in her voice. They had just torn down the wallpaper from their kitchen whilst renovating and discovered treasure. What lay beneath the bubbly white wall, was layers of old wallpaper pasted over as styles and residents changed. Deep red, paper thin, old handpainted wallpaper glimmered through a huge pile of torn, ready to be taken to the dump rubbish! I was in my element. Excited at the prospect of a new idea, I then collected the wallpaper of many a friends houses and started a collection of materials to be used in future works.
