About The Artwork
This 3D collage centres around a beautiful book cover designed by a favourite artist of mine, Eric Ravilious (1903-1942), English painter, designer, illustrator extraordinaire. The colours in this composition are placed around the book cover, dancing in harmony with the swirls of the black and white loops of Ravilious' design. The title of the work has been borrowed from the writer of the book, 'Life In The Woods' by Henry Thoreau. My use of materials is deliberately humble because I want to illustrate that art can be made with simple materials and still create magic. The collage is mounted on bright white acid-free illustration board, which extends beyond the collage by a few inches, leaving a white border all around. Framed in a simple, black wooden museum-mount frame, with about an inch of air between the illustration board and the glass, giving the 3D aspects room to float within.

Canada
Canadian artist Shelley Davies creates paintings, collages and photographs that are bold, colour-infused and 3 dimensional. With a background in animation, feature films, television and theatre, Shelley's many creative pursuits have led her to painting and illustration. Wit, colour and play are what Shelley aims for, using collage, paint and happy accidents to create work with a strong graphic design sensibility. Working as an editorial illustrator, Shelley's art has been published in numerous magazines and newspapers across Canada. A frequent contributor to Uppercase Magazine, she makes herself right at home with their ethos of blending art, design and typography. Her paintings incorporate that bold colour she so loves, all with a sculptural aspect using multi-dimensional blocks, building up rhythmic layers of collaged, tightly composed fields of vibrant colour. Creating work that acts as an object in space, as well as an image, is very much a part of her methodology, with the sculptural dimension a key ingredient in her art.
