Inverted Space is a collection of my recent figurative collages. My small personal hand-made collage studies explore the complex spaces that female figures create in a limited space. Innovative spaces are created as figures are placed over, next to, and towards each other. Negative space is used to mirror the figures in the positive space. Transparent silk fabric is used to continue to develop the interplay between figure, background/foreground and negative/positive space. Color is used to flatten the space and to foster a design aspect. Compositions are studied, enlarged and reduced to the bare essentials. The collages are a combination of craft papers, fabric and hand-drawn figures in colored pencil and oil pastels. They vary in size from five inches to ten inches.
