Temple33

Temple33's work has gorgeous colours muted with black and white, and the with paint she adds movement to her pieces. She has such an interesting array of work, but I've included only her paper collages here. What I think is really interesting are her unfolded packaging journals and her fabric collages, which I may cover a little later (check them out on her flickr).

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: Found+sort+cut+glue+print+tear+paste+stitch+draw=my work

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: I work with whatever I found or got for free. Mostly the flyers/posters/ brochures/free magazines/yellow pages/maps... Also I work with the aged notebooks/date books/calendars I've collected since I was a school girl.

Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: I've created collage "intensely" for only 1.5 years. I worked as a travel /lifestyle journalist for years. Since I love papers very much, I have stocked lots of magazines and prints. One day, I found I needed more space to live and had to clean out some of the paper collection, so I started creating collage.

Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: Well, I take the sole artist as my life long career but now I need to work as a part time translator/journalist to live.

Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: No.

Q: Explain your favourite techniques.
A: Techniques? I don't know... Maybe intuition?

Q: Describe your favourite piece ever created.
A: Hmmmm... I'm not sure. So far I just try to experience as many different compositions as I can. They are more like in progress but not finished works.

Q: What other artists do you admire?
A: I'm inspired by Asian tribes, C.G.Jung, mysticism, Yoshitomo Nara, Annette Messager, lots of novel writers.

Thanks temple33!
