For this visually busy 3D collage, I started with an old book cover, the inside of which has a beautiful copperplate inscription by someone who lived in the lovely seaside town of Scheveningen, The Netherlands. From there, I incorporated images of framed pictures on walls, stone wall patterns, cut-up paint palettes, ink drawings, typography details, an old ledger page and postage stamps. Perhaps it adds up to a glimpse of a life lived once upon a time. For me, it's a composition that just pleases me in its complexity and colourful business, with its percolating rhythm. 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, white 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. The actual piece of art does not have as much white around the top and bottom as the image provided here; the components of the collage which you see in this image spread out to touch the edges of the enclosing frame.

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.
