ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This 3D collage's starting point is an 1855 Japanese fan woodblock print by Sadatori. Picking up the colours of this print, I've used pieces from my paint palettes, paint chips and a weathered page from an old book. The title of the work comes from the yellow paint chip at the top right, named 'Pencil'. 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.

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.
