These last few days have seen me tucked away revisiting some collage ideas. I'm still hellbent on getting to the beach when I can, before the weather really changes, but the new season brings about some different ideas and I've been thinking about my collage collections a lot. I have just put a small new selection of these and a couple of this year's beach photos on my Etsy shop... JessEganArt.
No 17a is a small framed collage measuring 18 x 18 x 3.5cm. It is made up of personal meaning and puzzle style clues that elude to an existence. For example an old childhood house number, a birthday, a location on a map. Every component has a reason for being there, the buttons are from an old collection of haberdashery bits and bobs that my sister and I used to view as treasure when we were little. The photograph was taken by me, the words are written by me, the fabric, the diary page all mean something.

I have a great pleasure in putting these collages together. I am fascinated by assemblages and equally the collections of memorabilia that we see in grand houses, whether it be shells in display cases or thimbles on shelves. I think this is like creating my own microcosmic version. Juxtaposing memories and textures to create a small storytelling world in a frame, something I consider beautiful to look at and interesting to contemplate.
