Dissolve #1 Collage

Lisa Roberts (aka Terho Hongisto) is a collage artist and curator who works in the Finnish Archipelago. She creates compositions with found imagery and paper ephemera such old medical text books, mass produced postcards and displaced family photographs and handwritten notes. Terho combines and dissolves discarded imagery and re-presents them as playful assemblages with new life and meaning. Sometimes the final image ricochets somewhere between representation and abstraction. With influences such as; Kurt Schwitters, John Hoyland, Dada and automatism. Terho works to challenge visual convention. ……….. Other collage works on paper now on sale privately or at Galleria Pirkko-Liisa Topelius, Helsinki.
