Gabriela Szulman

My work is often humorous and whimsical, with splashes of vibrant colour and random connections between images.
I love delving into old photograph albums, vintage documents, magazines, books, cards, knitting pattern books and scraps of writing. Second-hand bookshops, junk shops, market stalls, attics and long-forgotten boxes are my treasure trove. I’m an inveterate collector of things that other people discard, and through my work I try to bring them back to life.

I originally trained in 3-D Design at Camberwell College of Arts, after which ran a ceramics studio in London for 12 years. In 2007 I left the messy business of clay behind to pursue an MA in Studio Printmaking from The University of Brighton, and since then I have been working in mixed media and collage.
