Imatge:Nostalgia 110X70CM.jpg

This collage is made entirely of pieces of my family album and found objects that I find as I live my everyday life.Of course,I keep my eye out for things: bits of unusual typography, a ticket handed to you in some foreign city, a poster peeling from a wall. I collect -no- I hunt these things down wherever I go, and seek out old printing houses, stationery shops,signwriters and rubberstamp makers..Sometimes there is a rare find:a ticket lying in my path in the street, waiting for me to pick it up.I fill boxes and boxes with them - as precious to me as flowers.Then, a period of time in a studio, assembling some of this treasure into collage.I work swiftly,no fussing and rearraging,just careful selection, a bit of editing, and done with it.
