This fancy-lady-made-fancier came from a fine art book and has been embellished with bits of jewelry, buttons, coins, stamps, and other ephemera. She's positioned in a heavy, gold resin frame that can be hung on a wall, or displayed on a table top. She's been exhibited in a gallery setting, but is now finally ready for her forever home!

Sarah Bridgland received a BFA from University of Brighton in 2004 and an MFA from Royal College of Art in 2006. Her diminutive paper creations inhabit the territory between sculpture and collage. Delicately fashioned out of second-hand ephemera and fragments of her own printed media, her work creates spaces where the real and the imagined co-exist, where fact and fiction collide. Each piece is a myriad of textures, shapes and lettering, reflecting her interest in the formal concerns of the Russian avant-garde and Constructivism. Bridgland is fascinated by the marriage of forms and her work celebrates this. Playful in approach, it explores the endless permutations of the cut out as a miniature type of reality. Recalling the mobile paper engineering of children’s pop-up books and toy theatres it exploits the cut-out’s potential to create a narrative, make-believe world, where Bridgland employs each piece as if it were an actor or a prop in a play. Adopting a formal language, she organizes space by balancing the effects of different typefaces and graphics, textures and colours, to create a kind of three-dimensional drawing in which snippets of imagery and information invite the viewer to make their own associations, imaginary conversations between the juxtaposed forms. Her work has been collected internationally and exhibited in New York and Miami as well as in London.
Derived from the French word "coller"( to glue), collage is a technique where the image is made from an assemblage of different parts, from various sources, to make a new whole. Although collage may have first emerged with the invention of paper, in China, it really became an art form in the 20th century. Cubist painters like Braque and Picasso introduced collage into their works as did the Surrealists and DADA artists. Collage and photomontage techniques were also used by Bauhaus designers in the early 20th century. Today, collage and photomontage are used frequently by a number of illustrators, most notably by Janet Wooley who creates her images digitally... Another illustrator who uses collage is Walter Vasconcelos... Here is an array of collage images from various artists and illustrators: For more information on collage, please visit the Collage Art website. Visit the collage page of Illoz.com by clicking HERE.

This is a lesson my Fifth Graders are just finishing up. We studied the art of Frank Stella, specifically his artwork "Jarama II." There is a great online slideshow that takes you through observing and talking about the artwork at www.nga.gov. When I presented this lesson I used a powerpoint that I created from that slideshow. We then returned to our seats to brainstorm a list of activities...and we broadened it to any physical activity - not just sports. We recorded these on the board. I then chose one and showed them on the board how you would represent that activity with shapes, and lines. I asked the students to think about the equipment, the movements and the colors in their chosen activity and then they spent time sketching their ideas. It was difficult for many of them to think in such abstract terms, but we kind of tried to make it like a guessing game for the viewer. We didn't want to make it obvious what the activity was - so they were not allowed to represent the activity in any realistic way. Once students had developed their ideas, they began cutting their shapes from cardboard. Once all their shapes were cut, they arranged them and I took a picture of it. After that, they began to paint. First covering all their pieces with colors, then adding patterns or designs with paint. Once everything was painted, students assembled and glued their pieces together to finish them. Click below to see our students artwork for this project.

About The Artwork For creation of my wooden sculptures I have used objects found from the Manhattan's urban ore. Usually it is plywood, parts of furniture and wooden toys. It is very important - materials should be collected in Manhattan. The City is like a huge caterpillar which carries through itself hundreds tons of wood. I like to come to Manhattan (from Queens it is a hop and jump) to rummage in a city waste in search of the necessary materials. Working on a sculpture, I take pleasure in the process of creation and have joy from the idea, that I will give new birth to the thrown out wooden things.

New One Title: Past Generation" Old One (private collection) New One Title:"3 Directions" (SOLD) I have been in a sort of a painting funk and decided to step away for a bit. I have had two very old empty wooden cashiers drawers hanging around in my studio for ages and decided it might be a good time to work on something different. I have created assemblages in the past and have a odd collection of items that really needed a home. I can't remember where I bought the vintage photos, perhaps at a garage sale or flea market. The second assemblage is owned by my son Michael. He was visiting us in Portland a few years ago and while he was here usually like to visit antique and junk stores. He is also a collector of things and will occasionally bring me an oddity such as a dolls head or the lady sitting crossed legged in the second piece. The old frame I used was something I lugged back on a plane after visiting him in LA. That one also has bits of broken green glass I will often pick up off the street when perhaps a car has a broken window. That one also has jewelry included. The last piece is another wooden cash drawer filled with odds and ends that I have stored away for just such a purpose... to re-purpose into something new. I had fun with the three small compartments at the bottom of the piece; that was all about layering various items to get what I wanted. I should have posted that three of my assemblages are showing at the SideSteet Gallery for the months of April and May. Rita Larson and Michael Pratt of "Pratt and Larson Tile" are the wonderful owners who support the arts and arstists with their funky and charming gallery and I am always proud to be a part of the shows they put on.
