Kristi Abbott

I am an Australia artist living and working in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As a collage artist I am fascinated with the use of color, pattern and texture and try to combine these elements in my work in an innovative and exciting way. My technique is still evolving and employs an exploratory and playful process that can incorporate costuming, set design, photography, graphic manipulation, collage and painting. I also hide images within my paper collages, creating a second level of interest beyond the initial image.
