Price: $420 plus post
Size: 20x29cm
Weight: 350g collage and packaging
This collage is inspired by visits to members’ studios…this one is of Gillian’s studio in Lindfield full of handmade ceramics. Jan was attracted to the work table on the verandah looking to the garden with ceramic pots full of succulents.
The collages are made using oil crayons on coloured papers which are torn or scored into shapes, pasted on art board and sealed with varnish. The thick dense crayon plays with the torn edges of the coloured papers.
Artist
Jan Spencer’s oil crayon collages are inspired by drawings made while exploring artist spaces, or walking and cycling in Australian National Parks and overseas.
Jan documents her explorations in travel diaries, drawing and collaging en plein air and uses these sketches to work up her collages in her Sydney studio.
