Mrs K's collages are not for the faint at heart. She uses drawing and collage to create very moving and sometimes disturbing images. I find something so unusual and--therefore so interesting--about her work.

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: Emotional, ironical, and a pain in the ass.
Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: Most of all, vintage newspapers. I love the colours and the texture of the old paper, and to discover hidden memories or forgotten historical facts from the past, and to move them to the present to create weird effects on the image.
Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: I remember myself as a child always cutting out things. The first collage I made was made with little cars from an advert and I pasted them on my bedroom wall. My mother was very angry. I am fascinated with silhouettes, and to cut out things is a way to define its shape and therefore its identity.
Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: We live bad times for the lyric and it's even worst when it concerns finding a job.
Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: I have a degree in Fine Arts, where I learned how to be informal.
Q: Explain your favourite techniques.
A: Cut out papers, Glue, ink and colours felt tip pen.
Q: Describe your favourite piece ever created.
A: My favourite piece is the one to come.
Q: What other artists do you admire?
A: Debens, Cless, Max-o-matic, 9000.
Thanks Mrs K!
